Well I was charged with criminal mischief when I was up in a canyon. For putting a T into a tree! Im not going to tell you were I was because i’m still on probation. There were 3 unmarked sheriff that went nutz! They were going to charge me with distruction of government property. The judge laughed when I plead guilty. His Words were (he was a older judge of the county) ” well this is a First for me.” “lol”I was an idiot should have taken it to Trail.
