"Outside of school, he was a trouble maker,” friend Devin Wynn said. “He would do stupid things. Go jack stuff from stores. Shoplift a lot." According to reports, Swanson has a criminal record dating back to the age of 13. Most recently, he was busted for stealing a car and driving drunk. He was sentenced to several months at the Hennepin County School for Juvenile Offenders. Michael Swanson did his time and was released on probation just 13 days ago. But Monday, his parents called police to report their son and their car missing. By the time anyone locally had heard from him again, he was shackled, accused of two murders across the border in Iowa......FOX 9 spent the days talking with his friends and former classmates and sadly, no one seems surprised.
The parents should be charged as accessories to murder for their lack of parenting from the time the kid was in diapers.
