No, no, no, I didn't attempt to murder anyone

(I'm much more resourceful and capable than just leaving something at just "attempted")

I will update this website later this year with pages of details, but till then, here are the salient points:

My wife is a recovering addict. She grew up poor (food stamps, Section 8) in inner city Baltimore. She had no chance and it was almost inevitable that opiates would find her. Her old sister died of an overdose, but by that time, her addiction was a full fledged disease. She's smart too, full ride to Johns Hopkins smart, but no match for drugs that rewire the user's brain chemistry. Managing sobriety is now just a big part of who she is.

In this case, I had to have a very persuasive (forceful) conversation with a drug dealer to get him out of her life. There were no weapons, no stabbing, no nothing. That's why ALL THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED IMMEDIATELY. I DON'T have a criminal record whatsoever. But you wouldn't know that due to inaccurate reporting by an irresponsible former journalist who refused to follow up, remove his article, or print an update.

Years later a somewhat similar situation in Dallas. There was no domestic "violence", there was just me doing what I have to do to help her with her sobriety. I had to forcefully grab and flush contraband while fending off two very motivated users (one of them being my wife). I succeeded, but it was a loud, disruptive event. The police were called, I remained silent and was arrested, but then like previously, ALL THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED.

I'll get into all the entertaining details when I expand this website later this year. For those of you unfamiliar with substance abuse, it's a day to day battle. She will be sober for years, and then get triggered and relapse out of the blue. I've developed a pretty good radar to spot the warning signs and I jump in and do anything and everything that is required to help her stay sober.

We have 364 great days a year, and one bad one, but still the best relationship I have ever had.

The online BS (including my ugly grinning mugshots) is what it is. I wasn't going to let them control the narrative, so this site will soon have all the details...stay tuned.

Meanwhile the war on drugs continues and the internet remains undefeated.
