Fearless...priceless
ReplyDeleteKaron Lewis has been a trouble maker for years. He was in and out of juvenile detention for assualting family members and various other crimes. Everitt Britt is a several times over felon and he has been to prison multiple times. He actually comes from a really good family. Its sad he went down the path he did.
