Looks like one of the fellas I used to work with is now behind bars in a county jail. I've gotten to know this dude for a couple of months (perhaps up to a year) since moving to Illinois way back in early 2010. He's a people's person sometimes with a bit of an attitude, but that's just a part of his persona, really. He also has a knack of athletic talent, too. He had a brief run with local mixed martial arts matches. But all of that would soon pass as he commits a crime which involves him with an underage 12 year old girl. I had to wonder what was the state of his mind at that time. Did he know the direction he'd be heading to or what the consequences would be for himself? It's hard to tell right now because he's not here to give me his perspective ... All I can say is that I hope he'll find peace of mind through all this and showing act(s) of contrition knowing he was at-fault for everything. He's a good friend since I've gotten to know him on day one at the job. I believe in 2nd chances and I hope he turns this all around somehow. Everyone's pointing fingers at him, I'm sure, but he definitely knows better especially now, about right and wrong. The people and the law will ultimately decide the fate of him and I respect with whatever justified ruling they are going to impose. He'll certainly be in my thoughts and prayer. If he can win a match in the octagon, I'm sure he can somehow find a way to win through all this.
Here is the article regarding him and the crime.
