***** MY Apologies. I am sorry that I made a mistake, and I want to apologize to Ms. Ashley Wright for missing reading the notes that I took at the scene early. Sometimes it does happen from time to time, as we all get rushed at the scene or by phone when we take notes. Yes, I know we all are not perfect in this world, but I do truly apologize and hope Ms. Wright, will forgive me I did not mean to make a mistake. But I am truly grateful that she was not seriously hurt or killed earlier today. But in honesty, I do not appreciate him coming onto my property and threatening me and my wife. I was in the process of correcting the story when he came pulling into my driveway and started to raise his voice. But I did not bash his wife nor did either mean to by any means, whoever told him that I did.**********
