oops, lol, you’re right. But still i think it boils down to the same thing, the sheriff looking to defuse criticism that is bound to come that this guy is only being arrested on misdemeanor charges.
Kind of like the situation where the girl who was fooled by a stupid woman colluding with some kids, committed suicide out of her dismay. Though no casualties this time. There wasn’t any law forbidding it, though tort claims may be another story. We don’t just make up laws here on the spot, as desirable as we might wish that to be in a certain situation.
You certainly could be right. And I don’t know if the Sheriffs are elected their or not? If he has to run for reelection, I can see why he wants to cover his butt.
enjoy the press conference today?
