There was a reference to this in an earlier thread today re: Jesse Jackson's visit. I am going to include here what I posted on that thread:

"Dow Pursley, 56, of Scranton, Pa., was shocked with a Taser stun gun and was arrested on charges of attempted burglary and resisting arrest without violence, police spokesman Sanfield Forseth said."

Attempted burglary? What was he going to steal?

If he was going in to get Terri, shouldn't he have been charged with attempted kidnapping?

Sigh. She really has been reduced to a possession.

He was armed with two very dangerous water bottles. I'm surprised there is not a charge enhancement for that.

"burglery" is technically defined as entering, or attempting to enter, a property for the the purpose of committing a crime.

He tried to steal a few minutes from MS goal of starving his wife to death.

No, because she would go willingly...
