Without getting into the weeds regarding warrantless arrests and based on public information, it's the correct answer regarding why the police didn't arrest for the first assault.
I edited to add critical punctuation. It's been a long day, I'm going to bed.
That's not what I meant. Let me edit and put a comma in.
Remember that police can only arrest and charge for felonies, and misdemeanors committed in their presence. Otherwise it is completely on the victim to press charges.
It's possible Massachusetts wouldn't extradite him, so Unicoi wouldn't have been able to hold him for those warrants.
Edit to add: If they thought he was a danger to himself or others, they could...
How do you propose they do that? Lock them in the basement? In my state, I have absolutely no right to involuntary commit anyone. I can provide a statement to law enforcement or a doctor, but...
Having dealt with mental illness and involuntary commitment with a family member, I can say that the entire system is screwed up. Law enforcement often times aren't trained properly, or they are...
This isn't a case of the justice system caring about accused rights more than victims. They did what they could without witnesses or victims willing to testify at trial. The 6th Amendment is still a...
Looks like Machete is in jail, and a hiker is reporting on Reddit of multiple stabbings north of Adkins. Damn it.

The Hiker Yearbook or Matthew Odie Norman.
According to a Facebook post, Odie gave Sovereign a ride to Johnson City and bought him a bus ticket north towards home. His video is worth a watch and some internal reflection.
I had Verizon service on Nesuntabunt Mountain so I coordinated the final days with my wife from there. She drove from Boston to pick me up. She told them at the gate she was picking up a thru hiker...
No, the automated news scraper doesn't know.
I started April 14 and finished October 7. The first night, Stover Creek Shelter was overflowing. I camped by myself about a mile further.
I know I was a bit late for the larger bubbles of March...
I sobbed when I finished my first thru hike on the Ouachita Trail. Probably because I had a failed attempt a few years before, it was such a relief to complete it.
5 months later I completed the...
So?
I thru hiked last year. Never once did I worry about if another other hiker was deserving of Trail magic. Thru hikers aren't trail gods deserving all lowly section and day hikers to genuflect...
Just looked at several bills from last year, universal service fee was about $1.30 and state sales tax tacked on another 4.5%. On the bills I looked at, taxes and fees were not more than 2 bucks per...
He wouldn't. The only thing the AT permit is really for is a spot at the Birches for a NOBO hiker and a census.
A permit from the rangers at KSC isn't required to hike Katahdin. Fill out a self registration permit at the kiosk at Abol bridge. Climb Katahdin and then turn in that permit at the gatehouse when...

I wore Olympus from Harper's Ferry to Katahdin, replaced once in Killington, VT but should probably have been about 100 miles sooner. My feet loved them. I cruised through PA's rocks with no...
Knife edge was the original plan, but weather wouldn't allow it. No one passed me on their way up Cathedral and one group of 6 20 somethings blew past me on their way down. I'll admit, there were a...
I had a ride picking me up at Roaring Brook so I carried my pack up, then down the Cathedral Trail. I survived. The pack and my rain pants needed small patches after a slip and fall on a slab of rock.
On my hike last year, every unattended trail magic container in the first 750 miles was filled with trash. Some were full of the trash generated by the magic, empty soda cans, gatorade bottles, etc....
