My Mother in Florida emailed this week that my younger brother is in jail. Oh man, this hurts my heart. Just another example of having to control or even influence over events in life.
Seriously sounds like some Jerry Springer theatrics!!! So, he recently married this little backwoods red-head from over here in Louisiana, even though they already had two beautiful little children (1boy- 2yrs; 1 girl- 1 yr).
When they moved to Fl and she sounded like she's a wild child, determined to still go out to the bars with the intention of starting fights for excitement. Now, after a few years, I get the news that she is pregnent AGAIN (that's #3) and...
it may not be my brothers! Evidently they've been on again, off again since the Spring and I guess the blow-ups have been really explosive. So, My brother gets to drinking, goes out in the yard and fires his gun off. When my Mom drags him back inside, he starts talking crazy stuff and puts the gun to his head and waves it all around. She ran to her room, upset, and then heard the gun go off again! She thought he'd done killed himself! But, he was back outside shooting his gun. His friend came over and got him to go into the house, but it was too late,... the cops showed up and arrested him for firing a weapon in a residential area while intoxicated (I don't know all the technical charges). But then it gets worse when they search his room and find a sawed off shotgun (which is ILLEGAL, for those that don't know). Like that wasn't bad enough, once he got into his cell, something happened where he stopped up the toilet and they turned the water off to his cell and he busted out the sprinkler system. His bond is like $200,000. And my Mom is a wreck. She went to visit this weekend and had to talk to him behind the glass and through a phone. She said he couldn't even look her in the eyes.
I wish I could say somehing to comfort my Mother. She has even asked the rest of the family to write him. I haven't a clue what to say!
