Arrested for criminal mischief, which is a felony. Convicted of battery, which is a misdemeanor. ---

A few burglaries of a habitation, buying and selling various drugs, serious criminal mischief, arson, and terroristic threats. ---

another unconvicted I’d really like to tell you about it but I’m not sure that’s wise. They say the majority of people who get arrested for something long after it happened, do so because they talked about it. Oh, heck. Let’s just say it involved putting a piece of metal into a piece of plastic, and its a felony to put that type of metal object into a piece of plastic of that shape, even momentarily. I took it right back out, I no longer possess the plastic piece, and there’s no proof I ever did, so I suppose I’ll be ok. But technically, I according to the law, I should be in prison. ---

now if that plastic piece had a screw through a certain spot, or if someone else had put a similar plastic piece on the metal one before a certain date, my action would have been quite legal. ---

Well, I voted when I was 17. I believe that’s voter fraud, yes? ---

never convicted, never even arrested. I assaulted a man with a baseball bat. He asked for it, though. ---
