had like I try to get in there Royston plow was arrested and charged with robbery by snatching obstruction fleeing and alluding and a handful of other traffic evenses I searched for info on trial or uh anything like that and I couldn't find anything he isn't in the Georgia Department of Correction so I'm assuming that uh he was arrested he went to trial and he was sentenced to less than three years and uh now he is out and has been released I couldn't find anything else on it so that's the the only thing I could deduce from that I will be back in a few days with a new documentary style
