Is the K-9 officer OK?
As far as I know. No reports of anything otherwise at this time.
People make bad decisions and or choices these choices do not in any way reveal who a person really is Michael Shriver was a big hearted wonderful person and human being he gave me and my children a place to stay rent free till I could get on my feet ask anybody who knows him before you judge him for this one act of unclear thought process look at the many many many great things that he has done and I implore you to keep negative comments out of the lime light in respect for his family who are obviously grieving at this time
Thanks for the comment. A sad situation all around.
How was he unresponsive from the gas?????
