@rulost2: I was pretty disappointed to hear that

@bullridinboy:
Yeah its messed up ...but come to find out its not his first rodeo he was busted in 2013 with several pounds of marijuana in the trunk of a limo he was in. I guess that why he got charge for possession of prohibited firearm this time being a felon on probation. It still sounds kinda fishy how the warant was for sexual assault and his arrest had nothing to do with that sounds to me someone set him up and snitched on him

@rulost2: see I never heard bout that guess on show he really wasn't that dumb just high lmao

@bullridinboy:
Lmao you got that right

I suspected he was high when I used to eatch the show. I can spot it easily
