Booked, fingerprinted, and facing felony charges, Maddox says his family was able to produce documentation that the gun the New Roads Police Department thought was stolen was actually legal. When the district attorney's office caught wind of what unfolded, it refused the charges. Remember the kid jailed for 20 hours over a stolen gun? The district attorney reviewed the case and refused the charges. not reduced, not amended, refused. Then the DA sent a letter to the jail warden ordering his immediate release. Why? Because running the wrong number, ignoring verification, and jailing someone anyway isn't a clerical error. It's a choice. Wrong number, real consequences. Thin blue lies, baby.
