His attorney is now grasping at straws with the UFO defense as he knows that the popcorn defense was going nowhere.
Even if there was a UFO it still wouldn’t help him as he appears to have been a serial theatre antagonist:
Sheriff Nocco said: Other people are now saying this happened to them. We are currently trying to verify those statements, using credit card statements to make sure they were definitely at the movies when they said they were. If we can verify that then it gives us even more to go on.
Took me a bit to figure out what was meant by the “UFO defense” - the attorney was claiming there was some other unidentified object that was thrown at Reeves...
no.
Reeves is just a hothead ex-cop that has an authority complex.
I ran into a guy like this on vacation once at a resort in Fla. Guy was a “security guard” who thought he had authority over everyone at the complex. I registered a complaint with the management. I hope others did, too.
This sheriff is so positive and vocal, that I'm convinced this defendant has a "history" with his department or other law enforcement in the area. Cops don't suddenly become 'loose cannons' - it's a character trait, and everybody knows who they are.
