He attacked his girlfriend and her child then stole guns from his father and took off. The Gold Alert is now a warrant!

According to WBOC he's wanted for a list of charges after an altercation with his girlfriend.

Man, this is right down from my house. I sure hope he doesn't break into my house and steal my weapons. Delaware will charge me if he commits a crime with them.

Exactly what does a neck tattoo "supposedly" divulge?

The only thing that would have made this better is if the street he lived on was SHOREBILLIE LANE!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

If his current girlfriend or his mother isn't named Denise, the tattoo could be a problem for him.

The girlfriend should be locked up for letting a child rapist around her children. According to the Delaware Sex
Offender Registry, he was convicted of third-degree rape of a child between the ages of 1 and 11.
