The perp had failed to surrender after being charged, as he had previously promised to do.

Taffy? Gladwyn? Who thinks up these names?

[Mark was here]

Who said he beat a woman? He is charged wuth making a threat.

[realdifferent1]

So that makes his treatment at the hands of the LEO's OK?

That seems to be your argument.

[mlocher]

It’s a good thing the police did not accidently taser the dead man. You just never know what would have happened.

If they’re trying to arrest a guy DURING the funeral, when he did say he’d go in after it was over

He promised to turn himself in BEFORE the funeral took place.

Before the younger Russ was arrested, the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office was already a bit leery of the man because he had barricaded himself in his house Nov. 8 when they went to serve a warrant for reportedly threatening to kill his estranged wife, McMahon said. They backed off after he agreed to turn himself in that Monday – the day his father was supposed to have surgery. Nov. 10 came and went without the younger Russ surrendering, McMahon said.

Just like flush toilets and can recycling.

We jest got that dang interweb thingy a couple o’years ago.

So that makes his treatment at the hands of the LEO's OK?

They were too lenient with him.

[San Jacinto]

The article says the guy agreed to turn himself in AFTER the service for his father.

Did you have some different info before you commented that it was okay for the cops to taser the guy while he is loading his father's coffin into the hearse?

[garykfd]

I don’t recall the article saying he BEAT HIS WIFE.. I saw where he threatend her but that could mean anything.. your aSSumtions make an @ss out of you

[garykfd]

He may have threatened to lock he out of the bathroom..

[AppyPappy]

He got tazed anyway. That’s all that matters.

If you get tazed at a funeral, you might be a redneck.

[Mojave]

He agreed to turn himself in BEFORE the date of the funeral after barricading himself in a house and resisting arrest.

[AppyPappy]

Oh yeah. They are going on a manhunt for this dude in eastern NC just on a goof.

[garykfd]

Easy with the redneck stuff..

[Steamburg]

I would prefer that to a bunch of whiny hypocrites lying about what a nice person I was.
BTW, did the arrestee schedule his crime with the victim?

[evets]

Dead to rights

Gladwyn Taft Russ III

[dragnet2]

So the sheriff’s office planned to arrest him discreetly at the 2 p.m. funeral – a move that backfired in the emotionally charged environment. Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Ed McMahon chalked it up to bad timing.

Bad timing? Discreetly arrest him at a funeral??

They almost dropped the casket?

Excuse me, but BWHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Andy: "Now Barn, whudya have ta go an do that for?"
