I'm not saying those aren't crimes, but that's a record of a person with extreme mental issues.

He was wanted for "substantial battery, strangulation, stalking and second degree recklessly endangering safety" - Troubled boy? No, he is a criminal awaiting justice in the adult court system.

I wonder if anyone initially mistook the picture of Rusty Schoon armed with a "grease gun" as the barridcaded suspect? :)
