No beard in surveillance video but lots of facial hair in mug shot, with some kind of medical looking device on his neck.

Seems strange.

My guess would be that he wasn’t formally arrested for several days while he was hospitalized.

He needed a medical device around his neck—that’s where she shot him.

No beard in surveillance video...

He was probably in the hospital for a while to recover from his neck wound before his court appearance. Also, photos may not be from his first court appearance.

Like maybe he hadn’t shaved a few days after being shot in the neck?

Nothing strange.

Appearance in court was apparently in the last couple of days.

The crime itself took place on January 26th.

Some guys can grow a lot of facial hair in 6 weeks.

The “medical device” is a tracheostomy tube.

After the scumbag was shot in the neck by his intended victim, he probably had his life saved by paramedics who put the tube in.

Mug shot was probably from previous arrest.
