Regardless... "charges are pending"... well let's see, if he was drunk- that's a charge and if he hit or "crashed" into something- well, that's another charge

tarheel... It does give you the wrong idea huh? Like... Gusting winds whipped though out the interior of the house. Kind of sounds bad huh? Then come to find out we are only talking about a ceiling fan.

Perhaps they needed a filler story today? There is nothing here, no complete story. Why bother with so little information?
