This right here beats all. As stated earlier below “meth and motorcycle” is never a good thing. These types boil my blood out there on the highways/in our neighborhoods doing what they please without a conscience to those that encounter them/victims of their drugged out minds. They made a choice to use these drugs and I feel as if stiffer judicial penalties need to happen.
“The Jail booking log indicates”
It’s been wrong before.
We have reached out to FHP for clarification.
@ William — the email may be wrong. It could be one of those “auto-correct” issues or just a typo on the part of the sender.
The Jail booking log indicates:
Avitia, Mike Fredrico
“Defendants last name is Avitia not Avitio”
Avitio per an email from FHP
Defendants last name is Avitia not Avitio
Meth and motorcycles?!?!!!!? It’s a wonder he’s not dead.
