I do not know you!’ Jim came to visit and mentioned, ‘Please excuse my good friend. He is simply damaged up with somebody.’ Jim was a extremely good good friend, pulling him out of that scenario.

“Out of respect for the continuing authorized scenario, I can not touch upon the whole lot that’s being reported proper now.

I used to be disrespectful to the officer who was simply doing his job. The phrases I used that evening positively don’t mirror who I’m. I’ve nothing however respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my conduct.”
