Now we read that Walters had pretty long record of arrests before he turned 18 from <a href=\"http:\/\/woodtv.com\/2017\/07\/10\/zeeland-man-charged-with-slayings-of-wife-ny-trooper\/\">WOOD-TV<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Justin Walters grew up in the Holland area, where his family still lives. He has a lengthy criminal record in juvenile court in Michigan. He was convicted of six felonies and three misdemeanors before his 18th birthday, including malicious destruction of property and possession of marijuana.<\/p>\n<p>In December 1999, 24 Hour News 8 reported that Walters and another student, both 15-year-old ninth-graders at Holland\u2019s Macatawa Bay Middle School the time, were charged after compiling a \u2018hit list\u2019 of fellow students and then trying to obtain a weapon.<\/p>\n<p>Both were eventually convicted of conspiracy to carry a concealed weapon and ethnic intimidation \u2014 authorities said some of their classmates were targeted because they were gay or minorities. Walters was sentenced to detention and a treatment program.<\/p>\n<p>Ottawa County Juvenile Court records show he last attended Sheldon Pines School \u2014 an alternative school \u2014 in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>24 Hour News 8 did not find an adult criminal record for Walters in Michigan. It\u2019s unclear exactly when he moved to New York state.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess that the Army wouldn&#8217;t be aware of these crimes when he enlisted because they were dealt with by the juvenile court system. You recruiters out there would know more about that than I know.<\/p>\n<p>According to the article, Walters told the judge that he wasn&#8217;t aware of why he was in court yesterday &#8211; I&#8217;m guessing that he&#8217;s going to blame PTSD for his criminal behavior, but that long juvie record indicates that he wasn&#8217;t all there before he enlisted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We talked a little about Justin Walters yesterday when we learned about his murder of a &hellip; <a title=\"Justin Walters; Fort Drum cop killer has a long juvie record\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=73301\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Justin Walters; Fort Drum cop killer has a long juvie record<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[232],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-army-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73301\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
