I wanted to give you guys an update. Today my Dad & I went to court to testify. It was for the guy’s probation hearing. We both testified, as did the deputies. The fact that he was drinking alone was against his probation terms, let alone breaking in. He claimed he’d “blacked out” and didn’t remember it. But one of the deputy’s testified that during questioning, he stated “I came out the back door, and a guy had a gun in my face.” Which isn’t what happened, but the dumba$$ admitted being in the house with that statement. The detectives also testified that he had been drinking.

The judge found him guilty of violating the terms of his probation, and sent him back to lockup for 600 days. I guess his criminal trial will come sometime after that, so it might be a couple years. When it was over, we rode down the elevator with the detectives, and asked them if they ever traced the cell call that kept ringing while we were holding him. We thought it might possibly be an accomplice calling. They said they checked it out, and it was his mother calling him, as he’d said, telling him a storm was coming & to get out of the rain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

So, that might be all the news about the situation for a while. I wanted to fill you guys in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
