Zon,

Do you know the reasons yet the 16 year old was arrested in the first place? I have been asking, I have either A) missed the reason (?) or B) it hasn't been released? have you heard anything on this matter?

Thanks!

I don't know and several enquiring minds have asked that question on these threads. From what I gather the charges were brought on by the altercation at the gas station.

Considering Jackson's condition; suffers from a disability termed "auditory processing delays," which makes it very difficult for him to follow instructions given to him orally, it's possible that the police jumped the gun... so to speak. Perhaps they though he was spaced out on drugs or was ignoring them. There's subtle yet important differences like where they talking to Jackson's back or to his face. If to his back did he not hear them or process the information and they grabbed him and he pushed back? I can see how a cop who is an authority that expects to be acknowledged could get perturbed when telling a person to their back to turn around and come here and it appears the person is ignoring them and keeps walking. Somebody pushed, hit or grabbed somebody first.

If you do learn what he has been charged with give me a ping. I'll do the same.
