attempted murder anyone?
Crazy talk. Also, what the heck was he doing that chasing him like that was even necessary? He had the guy’s ID in his hand for crying out loud.
I went to school with George Greenwell. He was always an upright chap in my experience. I can’t imagine what this could be all about.
Most likely it was all about shoplifting $200 textbooks from the bookstore…
This is poor journalism. Absolutely no pertinent detail to the important part of the story. And there will be no follow up most assuredly.
