$10,000 bond? Really? Please don’t bail him out, Granny! Cut your losses. Sounds like it’s way past time for some tough love for this one. He needs a lot of mental help and some time away from society to hopefully get his life together. Your life has been jeopardized long enough, by his criminal and unselfish acts. He’s going to kill you and/or other innocent people if he gets out anytime soon. I don’t want to read your obituary

You have the right to remain silent. He exercised his rights!!!
Bond set too low. While in jail will this guy see a psychiatrist from Lakeview?
