Weston faces numerous charges including second-degree arson, larceny of a motor vehicle, simple assault, communicating threats, interfering with an electronic monitoring device, and felony parole violation.
Outstanding citizen no room for him in society
This guy sounds like a winner. Thanks JCSO for getting this man or animal off the streets.
yeah they did a great job but sadly he will only be “taken off the streets” for a little while till he posts bond and then he will get a few years behind bars which won’t be long enough then he will be right back out doing it all over again.
Bright future.
He just needs to meet the right person and things will work themselves out if you know what I mean.
He is definitely a danger to society
This man was in special needs class all throughout middle and highschool. As an adult he definitely didn’t continue to get the mental help he needs and now innocent people are being his victims. Instead of locking him up a whole then letting him out only to destroy again. Maybe give him the mental guidance that is need to avoid possible further crimes against innocent people.
Someone needs to ask why? And maybe try to help. ?
Rehabilitation ,rehabilitation ,rehabilitation ,felon friendly back to society programs jail is not always the solution that’s why joco has one of the highest percentages in reoffending citizens it’s really time to re-elect and I mean do a 360 turn with public safety officials these private own jails are what’s keeping this cycle going because they see money not humans bettering they self
You are so true. Alot of times people just need someone that shows love and cares for them. If everyone would treat everyone like they want to be treated. Please we can do better as a community and stop turning ur our back on the ones that are in need of our help. Most just need someone to show them what love is. This could be your son or brother or dad. Help each other out until bringing the addict down and talking about them. Let’s change the way people look at our loved ones that are suffering due to drugs.
Amen girl say it loudly please
