According to the sheriff’s records, Cole was booked Tuesday afternoon and released on bail amounting to $2,500. The charge is a Class C felony, meaning conviction could result in up to 10 years in prison.

This is what I'm going to answer everything from now on, giving me a free pass: "I don't remember". Piece of shit.

I'm not sure that defense works for him in this case. A fair jury isn't going to believe he lives in a house he can't remember ever sleeping, eating, or bathing in. (Assuming they have a fair jury)
