If he threatened his neighbors with a gun, why wasn’t he arrested? How is it no one complained about this guy before he murdered someone and kidnapped a child?
Neighbors did complain. He was arrested. Two months ago for pulling a gun on a neighbor.
His day in court was to have been yesterday. It’s been reported that he said something like “they’re coming to get me”; as he shot the bus driver and took the boy.
Apparently he was arrested just before Christmas...heard that on a local talk show (Birmingham AL) this morning. The threatening incident happened around 12/11 (I think) and he was arrested sometime between then and Christmas. Not sure why he got out of jail, but depending on the actual charges he was probably released on his own recognizance or posted bail.
