Hate-it. You are right. And that is a disheartening fact.

I have several in-laws that have been in and out of jail. Every crime they committed was stupid. Duh, you get caught when you steal from your girlfriends dad’s credit cards and guns and use them and pawn the guns. You get caught when you are pulled over for speeding with two stolen jet skis in tow.

Why did these guys do it? Because my mother in law would always bail them out every time the were arrested and hire them a lawyer.

My sons, have been told not to call my house once they have been arrested for breaking any law. So far this method has worked:)

No one ever said that you had to be smart to be put in jail.

Article says Theodore was his old stomping grounds.  I guess he figured the cops would never look for him back in his home town. lol

The drugs these kids mess with completely fry their brains….

Poor kid. Not much going for him in the brains dept. Hopefully he will be locked up for a few years to mature some.

Wonder what he was doing in The’odore?
