Courtney: “(Zach’s) trying to make me look crazy bc that’s what Shelley is saying (he’s doing)”
Lindsey: “He (Urban) just said he (Zach) denied everything”
Courtney: “I hope urban is smarter than that”

Courtney: “I don’t really care. Ya know”
Lindsey: “Yeah, don’t worry about urb”
On the original Oct. 26, 2015 Powell Police report, a box on the form was checked indicating Zach had been arrested.

“The terminology used by the Police Department was different in the original report (dated 10/26/2015) and inconsistent with what actually occurred,” said Megan Canavan, director of communication for the Powell Police Department.
