Don't get me wrong, I think these kids are idiot thugs, but why were they arrested? If they weren't legally able to have the guns why weren't they arrested when first encountered by police?

Police conducted a further investigation after the video was posted online, and the 23-year-old Deboard was arrested and charged with menacing by stalking and violation of a protection order.jmra wrote:I don't understand.

They weren't arrested for the guns, they were charged with O.R.C. 2903.21 Aggravated Menacing.jmra wrote:I don't understand. ... why were they arrested?
2903.21 Aggravated menacing.
(A) No person shall knowingly cause another to believe that the offender will cause serious physical harm to the person or property of the other person, the other person's unborn, or a member of the other person's immediate family.
(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of aggravated menacing. Except as otherwise provided in this division, aggravated menacing is a misdemeanor of the first degree. If the victim of the offense is an officer or employee of a public children services agency or a private child placing agency and the offense relates to the officer's or employee's performance or anticipated performance of official responsibilities or duties, aggravated menacing is a felony of the fifth degree or, if the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to an offense of violence, the victim of that prior offense was an officer or employee of a public children services agency or private child placing agency, and that prior offense related to the officer's or employee's performance or anticipated performance of official responsibilities or duties, a felony of the fourth degree.
I have a theory but I don't want to violate the new Rule Nine.mojo84 wrote:So, why were they not arrested at the time and then arrested later?
One possibility is the police didn't witness Aggravated Menacing at the time, but review of video had the required elements of the crime.mojo84 wrote:So, why were they not arrested at the time and then arrested later?
Well one was arrested for violation of a restraining order so I would assume the person who had the restraining order called and said something about it. That isn't something a a cop who sees the four stooges out for a stroll would automatically know.mojo84 wrote:So, why were they not arrested at the time and then arrested later?
Open Carry for CHLer is possible next year.sbrawley wrote:Not sure about Ohio laws, but in Texas I thought possessing a firearm violated a protection order.
I would think that this is not unlikely. Were I a DA I would be satisfied to show this video to a jury as offering proof of guilt. I would also be happy to do so after viewing the attitude of the carriers.Jumping Frog wrote:One possibility is the police didn't witness Aggravated Menacing at the time, but review of video had the required elements of the crime...mojo84 wrote:So, why were they not arrested at the time and then arrested later?
