Major Worries! IT's EVEN WORSE!!!

[Pam]

Kim I will just pray that he is held without bail. The blessing, if there is any, is that she can now see him for the danger that he is. I will pray for your family's safety in the meantime. I can't imagine living with this kind of horror. (((hugs)))

The police called my daughter at 4:30 a.m. and said that Chad had bonded out. His bail was only set at $13,500.00 so he only had to pay $1,350.00 to get out! The police officer again told her that he had to sign a form and was warned several times that he had to stay completely away from her and Jenna or he would go straight back to jail without bond.

I did find out that the gun was a BB gun (at least) BUT, the cops said that it could still have killed her!!! I'm assuming because it would have been at such close range, and also depending on where he might have shot her.

They have a court date for January 2nd, and the cops assured her that he would be handcuffed the entire time. Most likely (I PRAY) he will be taken / sentenced to jail at that time. PLEASE PRAY for continued safety for all of us, particularly Amy Beth and Jenna during these next 5 weeks! What a way to spend the holidays, living in fear.

That is just awful Kim. I hope everything get's sorted out soon and that everyone will be ok.

If I could, I would hunt down that miserable piece of scum (calling him a "rat" would insult rats) myself. But all I can do is promise I'll pray for the safety of Annabeth and Jenna, and for you as well.

I am going to pm you with private message how to help this, but this much I will say here. If he had a felony and possessing a weapon, not only will it not be returned to him, but where he bought it from could be too.
You do need to talk to the police. They will tell you specific details but more so, it shows a inquiry for protection purposes. If she is in a womans shelter, they will tell her specific things to do too. She needs to do what she says.. And it never changes..

Oh, Kim. Does Amy Beth work a specific schedule at her new job? Can she ask to switch shifts with someone, so he cannot follow her home from work, or intercept her on her way there? Does she have a cell phone, and have 911 as a preset? She should, at this point. Getting rides from different people would also help, so he doesn't know what car to follow.

This is a horrible situation, and I hope he does something else stupid unrelated to Amy Beth and Jenna, so he gets sent to jail before long.

Unfortunately she works 2nd shift (3pm to 11:00 pm) He does know where she works. She does have a cell phone, don't know if it is pre-set to 911 though. I'll ask her about that. As far as switching shifts, she is still in her probation period for this new job, and she is already worried that her boss might not want to deal with this drama. The police came to her work and took her complaint last night, so that delayed her work as it was. At least the gun was a BB gun ... but as the police told her, could still kill!
He just recently purchased a different car too, so I'm not used to spotting it, but Amy Beth is.

As far as him doing something else stupid ... he already has! He was stealing large ($100 +) rolls of copper and hammering to make it look old and selling it to a local metal company. He was stupid enough to bring it home and brag about it to Amy Beth and showed the sales receipts and brag about how much he made off of it! I called his boss and told on him for that, a couple of weeks ago. Apparently last night, the police told Amy Beth that they were already investigating that as well! I sure hope so!!!!

I'm praying that if we all make it safely to the January 2nd court date, that he will be put away for a long time!!!!!

Kim,

The bright side to this dark cloud is that if the DA prosecutes on all charges, this piece of trash could be going to jail for a long time.

Posession of a firearm in commission of a crime (and threatening to commit murder is most certainly a crime) is a felony. If he's already a felon, his mere posession of the firearm (and yes, a bb gun IS a firearm) is a federal offense. I doubt he got the weapon legally, as when you're purchasing a bb gun you still have to fill out the BATF paperwork for the NIC check, so that also adds to the charges. If he did get the weapon from a firearms retailer (highly doubtful) then he should also be prosecuted for filing a false statement, as the paperwork clearly asks several questions that he would have had to lie on to purchase it from a retailer.

Properly prosecuted, buh bye, scum. I hope he likes his new cellmate.

Thank you for saying these things! I agree with what you have stated. Amy Beth was told last night that because he was already a felon that like you said, this is now a federal crime! Please GOD, let the system work for us this time!!!

Lit a candle for you and your situation at church today, so now you have a ton more people praying for you.

[Russian Blue]

Kim, what a sad and scary situation to be in. It must be so hard for you to watch from the sidelines and hope everything will turn out.

Amy Beth and Jenna look so happy in their new home! Hopefully the courts will throw the book at him and he will be a distant memory.

Sorry I don't have any other advice but I've never been in this situation. (((Hugs))) to you and your family during this very difficult time.
