Now we have a dangerous criminal.
i turned off this guys electric (that's my job) and he threatens to "blow my head off". it was pretty creepy this time because it's in my backyard. the guy goes to the office and threatens the girls too. police show up at the office then pay a visit to his home. the guy has a rap sheet 3 pages long, most drugs, weapons and assault. he's done jail time but no prison time. we don't Think he knows where we live.
now i can't park in front of my house at lunch or bring the truck home when i'm on call. we have extra police patrols now.(we rarely used to see patrol car) the police have had trouble with this guy and are looking for a good excuse to lock him up.
we shouldn't have to live this way. needless to say we are looking to move and to taking lessons and buy hand guns.  |
a PS to my post. the guy that threatened me was arrested yesterday afternoon. they made the arrest at his residence about 3:30pm.
he was picked up as part of a Drive-by shooting yesterday morning. AND for beating his gf up with a baseball bat.
take the guns from the criminals NOT the law abiding citizens!
