Some of you will remember from the Hub days a neighbor kid I talked about buying a hunting rifle for. That boys name is Trenton and he was a good kid. I let him pick the rifle out it was a TC Venture in 7-08 with a Nikon scope on it and it was a shooter. I found out that boy is headed off to PRISON for ADW on a police officer, operating a clandestine meth lab, possession with intent to distribute meth, possession of stolen property and attempted sexual assault of a minor. To say I was stunned by this is an understatement. Granted I moved and so did he and his family but I never thought he was a kid that would revert back to that crowd. He had sorted out his young life was doing good in school and he had a part time job last time I talked to him (Feb this year). I guess this goes to show that you never really know a person.

Sound like he met up with the wrong bunch and they did their sweet talking to him. Chuck you gave an outstanding chance at going down the right path and he got hijacked off the good path. Do not let this get you down. You did a good job it is he that did the choosing and he choose poorly.

Gary it doesn't have me down it has me pissed off. That said the boy made HIS OWN CHOICES dose that change the fact that I have love for the kid no not at all. Am I deeply upset by this sure am but no matter the sweet talking he still CHOSE to follow those folks down that path.
Kentucky doesn't play he was looking at 35yrs but they offered him a chance. He was offered and took a plea deal of 18-24yrs.

Chuck, That is a sad tale! You did your best but as you've said you never know.
