Drive to Nenana and..destruction
Apr. 30th, 2017 04:29 pmToday mom and I drove to Nenana (about an hour away) to see the tripod on the river for the Nenana Ice Classic before the river breaks up (it would have been cool to see it break up, but that would take some crazy luck lol). The watchman said he thought there was a day or two to go before it broke up. I have two guesses for today, tomorrow, and one for Tuesday, so hopefully it'll break up then haha. I love this game :P
This morning Denise called me in tears saying Becky's son Keith got high and then trashed the bookstore early this morning. He's been having issues, but I was still shocked to hear what he did..he knocked over bookshelves, tore down the camera wires from the ceiling so the camera couldn't record him (which luckily failed, they have a video of him. He was crawling on the thin pipes by the ceiling to get to the wires!), threw books everywhere, smashed plant pots and a glass cabinet, destroyed the water cooler, etc. Amazingly enough, someone was riding by on their bike and heard a crash, and called the police when he saw what was going on. Keith had barricaded himself in, but opened the door when he saw the police and said everything was fine because he worked there (WTF). The police eventually got rid of the barricade and Tased Keith, but it still took three officers to get him down and handcuff him. Wow. Becky's out of town, so that makes it even worse for her. As bad at it was though, it could have been worse..the sprinkler system didn't go off (he could have set it off since he was crawling around up there) and he didn't set anything on fire, which would have been a total loss in either case. There's a lot of clean up to do, but we can rebuild and replace what was damaged (as Cherry's friend Wilson said, "things must improve"). Mom and I stopped by after we got back from Nenana..a lot had been cleaned up already, but the pics Denise showed me were awful and sad..why would he want to destroy our awesome bookstore?? I hope he gets some help..wow (he's in jail right now, and definitely not allowed at the bookstore anymore). We will rebuild!!!
