Trouble is a family tradition for him amd his family
Sad but true.
When are people going to learn, don’t run from LEO’s. 99.9% of the time you are not going to get away and you just add to the charges as well as you take the chance of killing someone innocent or a LEO. Evan, you are a royal shmuck! If you want to kill yourself then do it but don’t drag innocent people into your stupidity!
This is really sad. This kid is just 19 🙁
