Accused tire slasher blames mom, radiation, braces


BOULDER, Colo. — Police said a man arrested for slashing the tires of nearly 50 vehicles blamed his mother, radiation and braces for the spree. Officers arrested 31-year-old man last Thursday on suspicion of criminal mischief and carrying a concealed weapon. Police say one officer spotted the suspect crouched behind a police SUV at about 7:15 p.m. Thursday, went to investigate and discovered a tire leaking air.

Boulder police spokeswoman Sarah Huntley said the man indicated he was frustrated over his relationship with his mother and blamed radiation from the former Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plant near Golden. He also said his desire to slash tires stemmed from his getting braces in the 1990s.

Police said he's admitted slashing tires on 46 vehicles.

well if it isn't his fault, let's just let him go

I never had braces
I have a good relationship with my mother
I do not live near a nuclear weapons plant

I have nothing to blame things on ..........

I'd let him go alright, I'd make him go replace everyone of those tires plus a few dozen more. If he was pissed at his momma, he didn't have the courage to slash her tires and not those of strangers?

Ah the missed opportunities.... I could have been slashing tires in my 20's and 30's to get back at my folks.. Geez

but don't you feel his pain, his frustrations

some people are so _________

wow
