Cleo Odem has always been easy to work with and always has a nice peaceful personality. I find it very hard to believe he was a knife packing aggressor in the situation described.
Jeepers the 18 year old drunk driver could have killed themselves and three other teens. Glad this ended with no one hurt. Maybe her time with the CJ system can turn her around at her early age.
