Edmond Ruth
- Thread starter Str8DBLz
- Start date
My hope is he can make changes , and turn his life around. He's a young man still, there's hope.
It always fascinates me to see that we are a species evolved not to believe our parents too much. There must’ve been a lot of suboptimal parental advice in our caveman past.
From the original link:
Police discovered Ruth, a Harrisburg resident, was wanted on a felony warrant out of Avery County, North Carolina, and took him into custody.
Avery County is a rural mountain county along the Virginia border, in the northwestern part of NC. Anyone know what his connection was there?

Yikes - he's young enough to rebound from this but this is not good. Prayers he gets his life in the right direction.
It's extremely remote, and not near any freeways or roads to any obvious destinations.
Blue Ridge Parkway goes thru there. Also Appalachian State is about an hour away.
It's 4 hrs west of Raleigh, so not somewhere he'd pass thru while visiting Ed.
This kid is barely even peripherally related to Penn State wrestling. No need to put him on blast.
Not sure he had the option, did he? PSU wasn’t even listed amongst the schools he choose Lehigh over.
This is very unfortunate. Here’s hoping he can turn his life around.
His school list was Lehigh, PSU, Arizona State, and Maryland.
@Truth_Talk had the answer.
From a few years back;
Avery County could reach new record for methamphetamine labs
According to SBI statistics, Avery County is settled geographically in the center of one the worst parts of the meth problem, with neighboring counties Watauga and Burke showing some of the highest numbers of meth lab busts in the state. Additionally, authorities in Avery County are fending off the strong presence of meth from neighboring Tennessee.
Avery County could reach new record for methamphetamine labs
In 2011, Avery County set a record for its highest number of methamphetamine (commonly referred to as“meth”) labs uncovered by authorities, according to Avery County Sheriff Kevin Frye.
I wonder what the felony warrant crime was? Very sad. I feel bad for his whole family. In my career I dealt with so many people whose lives were destroyed by drugs. My brother, who passed away at 41, was one of them. I hate to see these stories. I will be praying for Edmond and his family. Hopefully Edmond's case along with the other cases of high profile wrestlers whose lives have been upended or snuffed out from drugs will be a warning to younger wrestlers who might be tempted to travel down that path themselves.
mean altitude of 3,510 feet or 1,070 metres it is the second-highest county east of the Mississippi behind nearby Haywood County ,
Maybe in more ways than one.

If you read the full police report, he was in possession among other things..."Meth" making materials. Not surprising, there was a felony warrant out down south...after all, that's meth country...

Meth Use by State 2024
Maybe if he chose Penn State he wouldn’t be in this situation?The coaching staff seems to clearly have a positive impact on many lives. I know Penn State didn’t seem to help Gavin, but there is always hope.
I work with substance use issues everyday with my work. I've seen some come back around and learn from their mistakes. I remember the write up in the local paper about Chance and he seemed to turn it around he just needed a new environment and good support.
He also hit the rock bottom too at LHU.
But on the backside of that he found love. From there he was able to prioritize and find a deeper meaning.
Its possible but its damn damn hard.
Those states seem to be top-10 in total cases, not per capita.Top meth states are in the North.

So the list is pretty unhelpful [if we care about small states]. Still, we do see that of the top 10 states (total cases), Indiana, Tennessee, and North Carolina all move above New York, if we switch to per capita.

Looks like kermit is having a pretty grand one....
And enforcement differences are also a factor. For example, Oregon just completely gave up.
I live across the state line from Avery County. The area is very mountainous and sparsely populated. It the kind of place where an Eric Rudolph was able to hide from the FBI for 5 years. The cops stick to easy pickings and don’t interfere with interstate commerce. Let’s hope that young Edmond gets his life straightened out.
Also cases are not necessarily indicative of production.
State College has its share of meth labs. There were at least 2 at the old Imperial Motor Inn downtown (not including other drug busts there).
This is pretty disturbing news, to say the least. I don't know what the current legal atmosphere is like in PA, but if this had happened in a state like Texas, Edmond would be looking at doing a considerable amount of hard time. I hope he is able to retain a good defense attorney to help him through this mess.
Don't know if there are any other states in the same bucket, but convicted felons don't have to register with the authorities in Oregon. Not surprisingly, Oregon is attractive to convicted felons.
Florida Mississippi and Nevada require felons to register.
Alabama requires felons to register (applies only to two or more felonies) and have an Felon ID card.
Some state have other registries for specific classes of felonies
What he needs to worry about is federal charged. Interstate commerce is no joke and the fbi loves to get involved with this shit
Register. I never heard of that just felons who are sexual predator s in pa
You might have this backward -- don't those states require their football teams to register as felons?
If this is his first time then he’ll be alright. A mason jar full of weed and brownies with thc and mushrooms lol. That’s just a waste of weed. The mushrooms overpower EVERYTHING. What weight is this kid? I’d take him.
I'm not so sure of that. If he catches a manufacturing charge, that carries a typical prison sentence of usually 5 to 7 years regardless of priors...If they charge him with simple possession then he is fine and won't do any serious time...and if it's possession with intent to deliver, he's probably looking at a lengthy year or so in County jail, but would avoid prison
If he went across state lines that's federal and the pain get real with those mandatory minimums for real
