Howard,as the post says on Douglas D. Sprague it is untrue that he brandished a gun,seems a gun would be a felony,not a 4 th possesion of a weapon,as being his dad i know for a fact it wasnt a gun.It really saddens me that news being falsely reported has my boy criticized as a felon an talked about as being one.

If you can get the State Police to correct the item, have them contact me. I can only report what they report. I wasn't there. I don't know.
