I never heard of a slungshot. He sounds like real … well let’s say I’m grateful the police found him.

Will he be out right away again?

With the felony charges he was wanted for plus this, he better not be released. He doesn’t care about anything but being a criminal, so treat him like one. Put him away for a few years, and help out the public.

He will be in there for awhile. Drugs can turn someone into the worst version of themselves. He was an awesome child.
