      1. Do not believe all that is written Jared was taken by the driver down an alley and attacked for refusing to buy drugs by 5 others involved, in self defence and not wanting to be robbed of his money he lashed out at one with the bottle Under no circumstances was he under the influence of crystal meth or would evendream of taking as all thoughs who knows this gentle kind guy will tell you. Police placed an already opened possitive test for the photo. Don’t be naive to judge as you may find yourself a victim of this scam purely to obtain compensation money

        1. I met him on my travels and he was the most gentle placid man you could ever imagine. As soon as I read this I smelt a rat. I knew something was off straight away there is absolutely no way he would have anything to do with meth bot would he attack anybody as anyone that has met him will agree. Very sad news indeed.

  1. I know this JARED and I can say he is the most friendly and gentle man you could ever meet. He would not lash out at anyone unless he felt threatened. I suspect that the victim and authorities are making a show out of this.
