Lease member with sketchy past

[tx07]

Through some digging of my own I just found out one of the guys on my lease has been on probation since 2011 and will be on probation through 2016. This was the result of being convicted of aggravated assault/impeding breath (choking), a 3rd degree felony, and I also found he had a prior aggravated assault with a deadly weapon conviction as well as multiple DWIs. How he is not sitting in a cell is beyond me. I had a confrontation with him 5 years ago that almost came to blows and since then have avoided him as much as possible.

Would you feel comfortable with this guy on your lease? A guy with an assault with a deadly weapon arrest and a known hot head around guns and alcohol has me concerned. I am not sure I want to be around when he is there and I sure don't want my kids to be around him ever, but he lives fairly close and is there most every weekend. Getting off the lease is the last thing I want to do, but if I can't enjoy myself and bring my kids what's the point? Oh, he's a family member and his father is the lease manager...ugghh. A talk with his father is in order before the season. Any suggestions?

Honestly, no I personally would not be comfortable with him being on the same lease. There is definitive evidence he is an aggressive person. Maybe change leases or completely avoid him period.

1. While in the punishment phase, deferred probation he should not have a firearm. So sounds like he is in violation of that now.

2. If he does not get a "conviction" and ends with only a "charge" and having served his deferred. Then he can own firearms 5 years after completion date of the deferred. Because he was not "convicted" only "charged".

However, if he is in fact "convicted" he should not have a firearm. And seeing how your saying he has a prior. I don't see how one of them was not a conviction. But I guess it is possible.

Id bail on the lease. You are putting your children at risk it seems if you go there while is there. People like that never change. Many actually become more aggressive because of their reputation.

I would just go dove hunting with the man and the first time you see him shoot a bird on the ground, perched on a tree or a powerline, then,,,,call the GW.

Honestly, I would leave it alone. If you almost came to blows with him, then your just as hot headed. No offence, Just my opinion.

Ive been in your position! And I was more ignorant than you are. Did it scare me ABSOLUTELY!!! Let me also tell you this, I found this info out from a reliable source but even knowing this was reliable I still straight up went to my best friend (NOW) and asked because I know if I didnt I may regret it. God is powerful and can change lives.

Listen this guy may be a bad apple and may not be worth it, but I would go face him and his father face to face and let them explain it to you. I would come fully prepare for any circumstance but you owe it to yourself and this other person (FAMILY) to hear their side of the story.

If he is a felon he shouldnt be around guns period. It is against the law!

Not in texas it ain't!

What happened to manning up and bringing it to the street? Nowadays people are more concerned with whAt everyone else would do, instead of relying on your own instinct and showing grit. If your scared then run! Who cares if he's been to jail, is on probation, is a hothead, or folds his underwear? If you don't like it and can't do anything about it than it is what it is. Take your ball an go home. It sucks but again it is what it is.

And to all you cowards talkin about callin the GW and his PO, grow some balls you spineless Little worms. That is the most chicken**** thing one could do! TRYING TO GET SOMEONE LOCKED UP ON A HOPE IS PATHETIC!!!!! What if he's trying to get his stuff together and just wants to be left alone? Keep throwing rocks from your glass house. Worry bout yourselves and you'll do a whole lot Better in this world. Bet I don't EVER find myself in your company!!! And THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE.

How much did you pay for the lease?

Would you pay that much to prevent something terrible from happening to your family?

Pretty sure I'd walk away...

You may have to kill him to protect your family...I'd rather be at home with my family than in the clink any day.

Get rid of him now
