He looks a little out of place. He asks me if his wifes wallet has been found. I check lost and found and it wasn't there.
He comes back the next day, two days ago, and asks if there are any half-way houses around. I told him of two. He seemd a little down on his luck.
He comes back yesterday and explains that he just got out of a county house of correction, and his id's are there still and someone is willing to lend him a car to drive and get them back. He needs to know if his right to operate is o.k. in Mass. because he receievd a citation about two months ago and never paid it due to no funds. The town is small where he received and is probably behind in thier paperwork, because his status was o.k.
Then the guy starts with his story, because myself and the detective asked him what he was locked up for. And you just can't make this chit up.
No towns or names will be involved.
A little over three months ago this guy and his wife lost a baby (21 days old) to some disease.
Two months ago he and the wife are staying in a motel and have an argument. He says it wasn't bad. She said to him, "I am taking the ashes and going to mom's." He says, "no your not, you and the ashes are staying here." (This isn't a verbatim story. I didn't record his words.) Someone staying at the motel calls the police. Two area departments answer the call. The two get separated. Questions get asked. They have a tractor out front as transportation, because that is how he earns a living. Police find that she wants to get the babies ashes out of the truck. They asked if they can check the truck before she enters, standard procedure. She says yes. Police ask, "are thier any guns or drugs in the truck?" Again standard procedure. She says "no drugs, but thier is a gun in the cabin."
He gets arrested for kidnapping for not allowing her to leave. Possession of the gun, possessiopn of the amunition, blah, blah, blah. He gets held on $500.00 bail because he is a flight risk, having a last legal residence in Arizona.
He was a police officer in Califonia for two years and then got through. He has been driving truck ever since.
He has his truck towed, after he was arrested, by a guy he knows who charged him $2300.00 for a five mile tow. He calls his sister in oregon (probably because she was the only person in his family that accepted the charge call from him from jail), and he has his sister negotiate with another guy to buy his truck, in the same area, and pay the original tow bill, then give the balance of what he says he was owed to him when he is released.
His court appointed attorney secures his release after sister in Oregon post his bail. Guy goes to the purchaser of his truck and he says he doesn't owe him anything due to storage fees and so forth. This part sounded true, but might not be. I don't know how you can purchase a truck and then charge the seller storage fees and a tow bill.
Now the guy is hoping he'll get time served for the weapons possession, and somehow recoup money from the sale of his truck.
The guy is no dummy and I tend to believe he was an officer in Califonia. He is very knowledgable.
Talk about life screwing you over though. Lose a 21 day old baby,
Get arrested. Spend 60 days in jail awaiting a dangerousness hearing. Lose your only means of earning money to unscupulous people, who know you ain't gonna be able to do chit about it. Now granted he should not have had the gun, at least in this state, but even to me that seems to be his only real transgression.
