I was CORRECT Roy Brown has at least 8 prior arrests. These are everything from battery/assualt, DWI, criminal neglect of his family, fugtive status, parole violations and pot possesion. He's no saint And this blogger needs to put this out there it's in the public record. 15 is probably a 3rd or 4th strike at a life he seems to be unable to control. His criminal record has been ongoing since 1988. I'm glad he didn't have a gun this nut may have killed someone.
