I received a phone call from the county attorney this morning. He is willing to bring charges against the young man who throw the firecrackers at me while I was out riding last week. He is going to charge the young man with wanton endangerment which carries up to 12 months jail time and/or a $500 fine. I did tell him I'm really not interested in this kid going to jail but I do want him to fully understand the seriousness of his actions. I must admit I'm pleasantly surprised that he is going to file charges for I figured it would get swept under the rug and nothing would come of this. The county attorney was going to begin the paperwork today and will call me sometime next week to set up an appointment to talk about where things are heading. I'll keep the group posted.
