I asked her to come to the office and told her that it pertained to her son. Lee Ann followed me to the Sheriff’s office, and Detective Griffith spoke with Lee Ann and Christian.

Jamie and Heather talked about it and stated that they did not want to press charges. I asked Jamie and Heather if they knew the two juveniles and they said no.
