Let’s hope he has begun to take responsibility. Good first step to turning his life around.

good luck, his friends list include Kangas, Eubanks, Aubrey, Bosworth and 450 other local scumbags. Bosworth is 25 years older than this kid [edit]

Tyler’s sister was Tessa Gingrich, who was killed by a drunk driver in Mckinleyville December 2016. Be kind and remember that life can be so hard.

He should roll on his accomplice to deal a lesser sentence.

binbeareda4: Excellent question. I do not know the answer to your question but I do believe that the children produced by this brother/sister marriage are legally their parents’ grandparents.

stop being mean! does it make you feel good? there is a younger sister who lost her big sister when she was killed walking on the sidewalk by a drunk driver and now her brother has made a BAD decision. she is sweet as can be and SHE doesn’t deserve harsh words written by thoughtless people!

Did not mean to be mean,kid made a bad decision,shit happens, it’s human nature. Nobody said a word about any thing that has happened in his family. It was a kid who burguled a storage shed, nothing more. nothing I see was directed at her directly or the incident . I am sorry for your loss of a friend. I can’t speak for any others. I was writing about the general stupidity running rampant, not any one person. Again,no offence was intended.
