(CBS) Since 2004, 22-year-old Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner has had at least four known run-ins with the Pima County Sheriffs Department, not counting his arrest for the assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Taken alone, Loughner's run-ins with police, including one arrest for marijuana possession and another for being drunk in school after fighting with his dad, seem normal for a slightly rowdy teenager. In context of the horrendous crime he is accused of, they may provide some insight into the deterioration of Loughner's mental state.
Below are descriptions of arrest reports provided by the Pima County Sheriffs Department involving Loughner and his parents.
On May 27, 1994, Randy Loughner was detained for reckless driving in a "Mint Yellow Camaro. Loughner told (police) he had just had it out for the first time in six months and that he was putting it back into storage in his garage and would not be driving it again for some time."
On Dec. 21, 1996, Loughner's mom, Amy J. Loughner, called to report that her expiration tab was stolen from her license plate.
On Oct. 11, 2002, Randy Loughner called police to report that the passenger window on his 1966 Chevrolet truck had been smashed out while parked in his front yard. Nothing else was wrong with the truck.

“Loughner’s run-ins with police, including one arrest for marijuana possession and another for being drunk in school after fighting with his dad, seem normal for a slightly rowdy teenager.”
Seem normal for a teen? I don’t think so.
I’ll bet the sheriff’s shredder had been getting a good workout the past few days.
As of September 9, 2007, Loughner officially became legally ineligible to purchase a firearm. I suspected this almost immediately that he would have to falsify statements on Form 4473 to purchase a gun. He did, in the process committing a felony.
Keep this in mind when you hear people talking about how he “legally” purchased a gun.
Of course, the deterioration of Loughner's mental state went into high gear when he started listening to Rush Limbaugh and signed up as a secret Sarah Palin operative for the Tucson area.

He was driving a Camaro in 1994? Wasn’t he six years old? I must be confused....
I just went to the link.
CBS is running a story that Palin is playing the victim card now.
These bastards are SICK!!!
Remember, this is only what went down on paper.
"Seem normal for a teen? I don’t think so."
Maybe it's the norm in Democrat households. Just because the writer's kid has spent time handcuffed in the back of a police car, and all his friend's kids have, doesn't mean everyone has.
t’was his daddy, Randy.
Ok, I’m an idiot. I think I need a nap.
*Bangs head on wall....*
What do the driving infractions of the parents have to do with anything. It seems odd to release innocent parties information.
What happened on 9/9/07?
You know it. They sheriff is responsible for a lot of this tragedy.
Fifteen second video- friend says Loughner did not listen to talk radio or watch TV-
The narrative pushed by liberal propagandists was a totally baseless lie and this proves it. Please promote this video.

Somehow this report seems incomplete to me. I could swear that I heard the illustrious Sheriff refer to Loughner making other threats to other people. So where are the reports of these events he alluded to during his multiple rants?

“He was driving a Camaro in 1994? Wasn’t he six years old? I must be confused...”
A 22 year old born in 1988. Yes, he was driving a Camaro at 6 years of age. Why do you think conservatives call CBS, SeeBS?
