Pierce acknowledged using meth for 20 years during an officer interview. According to the report, his supplier recently
Offered him one pound of the drug to sell, but he was “uncomfortable” about it since he didn’t think he could sell it.
He allegedly delivered the meth to his friends, but he says an associate knocked him out after stealing it.
Pierce allegedly informed the dealer that he owed him $20,000 “or that he would shoot him and his family” after he told him he had been robbed.
He allegedly gave drugs to a homeless man the morning of the event in exchange for helping him move the cannon by putting chains around it and using his automobile to pull the chains.
He allegedly delivered the pieces of the cannon to his drug dealer after disassembling it “to show that he was trying to pay for what he lost.” Pierce’s dealer referred to him as “stupid” and
Threatened to “shoot him in the head next time he sees him.” Pierce apparently felt “hopeless” after that and wanted to tell his mother about it, but she was asleep.
