I thought I'd send you a quick John update. He pled to possession and obstruction (for fleeing) the Feds dropped the environmental and manufacturing charges. Although with some conditions. He's still in Sterns County with only approved visitors waiting for sentencing. Then it's off to Arizona for more of the same. Just thought I'd bring you up to speed, so to speak.
I was really surprised to come across your site, I searched for "Spitball Meth". I moved to California awhile back and have only been able to know what is going on with him through mutual friends. So it was cool to read all of the new info.
Awhile back the police raided my house here in San Diego looking for Spitty. They had gotten some kind of false lead that SB was living at my house. They had been casing the joint for a few days and our roomate was a skinny mexican guy that they thought was him.
The night before we got all drunk and didn't get to bed until 6 a.m. and at like 9 a.m. they pulled us out of our house at gun point. They had surrounded our house and had my roomate in a cop car. The cop kept saying, "you know Michael Pierson?" and I'm like "NO!" and he says "she's denying it"... Then some FBI agent pulls me behind the car and says "you know this guy?" and sure enough there is a photo of SB looking as smartassed as ever. I say "yeah, that's Spitball, and his name is John", which the FBI agent of course knew already, the cop just didn't read his paperwork right. I told them that I had not seen him in 5 years and did not know anything about his whereabouts, which at the time I really didn't know anyways... so they just jumped in their cars and left. No "sorry to bother you" or anything... Anyway, I just thought you would like to hear my run away Spitball story. Gotta go... Skye
Dude if you actually get tis, I just wanted to say that prayers to numerous gods, depending upon my current neurochemistry-condition, go out to you, and KUDOS for being FREE!!
Don't reply if you don't feel entirely good about it - I don't care, I just wanted you to know that there are a few relative strangers (myself at least) who have thought about you literally every day since late `99, and have wondered how you are doing and whether you had adapted to confinement. I went to cribdeath.com the other day just cleaning old bookmarks on a old HD, and found info that suggests that you are not incarcerated. I swear manno, I almost cried I was so happy.
Stay free, stay cool and stay smart man - very best wishes. Like I said, this is a one-way communication - if someone other than SB gets this, please pass the good vibes on to him.
Shit.
