Council, Governor Commute Sentence

CONCORD, N.H. -- A man convicted of criminal threatening after he was accused of waving a gun at a woman on his property was freed from jail Wednesday.

Ward Bird grabbed his family in a bear hug Wednesday night following his release from the Carroll County Jail.

"I'm humbled, and thank you very much; we will talk more in the future. Right now I want to be with my family," Bird said.

The Moultonborough man spent 77 days behind bars on a 2006 felony criminal threatening conviction, which his supporters said was unjust.

The Executive Council voted unanimously to commute Ward Bird's three- to six-year sentence, but he wasn't given the pardon he asked for.

Now if the neighbor's kids are raising felonious hell in your front yard at night, you can part their hair with the shotgun, not just shoo them out.

God Bless Texas!
