And Another
And another serial violent offender was jailed last night. Ronald Michael Pye took a trip to the SACDC on charges of Attempted Murder, 2nd Degree Assault & Battery and Possession of a Weapon (knife) During a Violent Crime. No bond was set on the attempted murder charge. A total bond of $100,000 was set on the other two charges.
Pye is said to have held his girlfriend close to or in a fire, thereby causing serious burns. When the woman’s son intervened he was stabbed in the chest by Pye.
We thought his post from Sunday afternoon was interesting.
Some of the “news” outlets attempted to give you background on Pye, but it was woefully insufficient. We will give you more information.

As you can see, there is quite a bit more violence in that criminal history than the “news” outlets would have you believe. Anyone else smell some more probation coming down the pike?
Do you have the address where this incident occurred?
Police say it happened on Hilt Street.
I saw that. I was hoping for a specific address. I think I already know.
