    It seems odd his mom is a sheriff given her criminal record. I would expect abducting a child to a foreign country would disqualify someone from law enforcement.

      It was his stepmom’s gun, not the mom’s. Article was probably edited at some point, since I see at least one place where they forgot the step part.

      Are you not from the U.S. friend? You’d think repeated domestic violence would preclude one from being a cop too. but, nope. murder in the line of duty? sometimes, not always. conviction for abusing power? rarely.
