Headlines don't tell the whole story behind the man who committed suicide today at the jail

The last time he made headlines it was for the arrest for robbery in Mckinleyville at the Alliance gas station. He was also on the most wanted parolee list.

So what is the "back story" for a man who went in and out of jail that led to his making this unfortunate decision?

And by that, I don't mean the jail but what led him to this life of crime.

One word: meth

Prayers go out to his family.

From his facebook, there are photo of happier times with his mom and his last post is from April 2014.

On February 26, 2012 (a year after the Alliance Gas station bust), 3 posts on the same day:

"So my life is a little uncomfortable right now. Stuck in Lee brown. Program. Its not too bad its just hard doing five months in jail then having this black out."

"I just wish I could get a short pass so I could take care of a few things. Plus I would really like to spend some time with my girl without staff or residents all in our buisness. I can just take things one day at a time."

"I'm going to church with my dad in a few moments. Its good to spend time with him. He delivers a pretty good message. One I can understand an relate to anyway. Well I better get ready to go."

Here is an article by Kevin Hoover from the Arcata Eye talking about how his life.
