Huh… two different orange jumpsuit pics. Methinks this goblin has had run-ins with the law before. Too bad our catch and release judicial system saw fit to cut him loose.
Yep, it will be interesting if any of the local “press” see fit to inquire into which jurisdiction(s) the photos are from.
Immigration status ?
Wouldn’t actually take that much investigation. A simple Google search tells us that at least one of his priors took place in Sterling:

Whoa, that prior was on the same street where the attempted rape took place! Fingerprints anyone?

This goes to show, that you never know who a person really is. I personally knew this guy, and he obviously led a double life, the one I knew was always in church didn’t drink or do drugs…obviously competely made up person in his twisted mind…it disgusts me how some people can really be! how did he get back into society so many times??? That is the real question…he also has charges in Clarke county! I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life!
