Let me guess… he’s out again ?
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?
Slungshot… original maritime, used to throw lines.
Also a sock full of pennies.
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.
Slungshot? My grandfather used to make those when I was a young boy, he sailed around the South Pacific it was definitely a sailor thing.
He will be in there for awhile. Drugs can turn someone into the worst version of themselves. He was an awesome child.
