    @Wesley Erickson
    Maybe you failed to read the part of the report that he had multiple outstanding warrants? And he also had an extensive criminal past. How many times does it take for him to learn not to “mess up” as you put it? This guy is a dreg of society and people
    Like him with that record shouldn’t see the light of day again!!

    Why people don’t make comments like ( concerned citizen ) did until he back locked up. Make it when he is free and say it don’t be scared. He served his time on past things and messed up we all human. GOD is the only judge no one else
