Journey To Faith By Jackie Carpenter, Special for US Daily Review
I, Jackie Carpenter, have lived through every parent’s worst nightmare when my son, Jason Veitch was arrested for “Felony Murder” six months after accepting God’s Call into the ministry. Following the advice of a Deputy he armed himself and sat in the woods on Friday night, June 27th, 2008 trying to catch copper thieves that were stealing from his under construction homes. He had been robbed of copper 3 times during this week of June 27th. He had been robbed a total of 17 times with each theft costing approximately $6,000 to repair the damage that was done. This deputy told Jason law enforcement did not have the manpower to guard his houses but Jason could sit in the woods, guard the next house with exposed copper, and if they showed back up, call 911 and the deputy would have law enforcement patrolling this area. He also told Jason if anything should happen he was allowed to make a Citizen’s Arrest (bind their hands and feet) and wait for law enforcement to arrive and yes he was allowed to hold them at gunpoint.
