[0:01] Holy Cross Cemetery in but Montana. The
[0:04] eerie spot where the single engine turbo
[0:06] prop came down. Its fiery end captured
[0:09] by a witness with a camera.
[0:11] >> I looked around for whatever I could
[0:13] find as you know didn't see nothing but
[0:15] wreckage.
[0:16] >> The plane, a Swissade Pilatus PC12, a
[0:19] single engine alternative to a private
[0:21] jet was headed to a ski resort in
[0:24] Bosezeman, Montana. Nine of the 14
[0:27] victims are from a single extended
[0:29] family.
[0:30] >> He was a good father, my only son.
[0:36] Had a wonderful wife, wonderful family.
[0:40] That was everything.
[0:42] >> Flight records show the trip started
[0:43] Sunday in Redlands, California, with
[0:46] stops in Vakavville, where it refueled,
[0:47] and Orville picking up family members
[0:50] along the way. But on the last leg of
[0:52] the 700mile flight to Bosezeman, the
[0:54] NTSB says the experienced pilot calmly
[0:57] diverted to but where witnesses say the
[0:59] plane pitched to the left then nosedived
[1:01] less than a mile west of the runway.
[1:04] >> We will be looking more carefully at
[1:06] everything we can possibly find out
[1:08] which would give us a hint on why he
[1:11] decided to divert to but
[1:14] >> complicating the investigation because
[1:16] it's a private plane. There's no flight
[1:18] data recorder and no cockpit voice
[1:20] recorder either. NTSB investigators say
[1:23] among the host of things they'll be
[1:24] looking at is the plane's weight. NTSB
[1:27] officials say the Pilates PC12 was
[1:29] configured with 10 seats for 10 adults.
[1:32] But on this flight, there were seven
[1:34] adults plus seven children.
[1:36] >> We have to get the weights of all of the
[1:38] passengers. We have to get the weights
[1:41] of the u fuel. We have to get the
[1:44] weights of all of the luggage. The
[1:46] youngest victim was just one year old,
[1:49] who along with the others is remembered
[1:51] tonight with new crosses outside the
[1:54] cemetery fence. Lee Cowen, NBC News, Los
[1:58] Angeles.
[2:00] Now to another fatal plane crash half a
[2:02] world away. A fireball at Tokyo's Narita
[2:06] Airport. Surveillance video caught what
[2:08] happened just as a FedEx widebody jet
[2:10] came in for a rough landing with
[2:12] catastrophic results. The aircraft hit
[2:15] hard, careened to one side, bursting
[2:17] into flames. Both American pilots were
[2:20] killed. Narita's first deadly crash
[2:22] since that airport opened more than
[2:24] three decades ago. Investigators fear
[2:27] it's a case of wind shear, a violent
[2:29] sudden downdraft of air. In the upper
[2:32] plains tonight, there are fears of a
[2:33] springtime disaster. The Red River that
[2:36] flows along the border of North Dakota
[2:38] and Minnesota has been the scene of epic
[2:41] flooding in the past. And now residents
[2:43] and disaster officials there are
[2:45] preparing for a repeat. And sandbag
[2:47] brigades are out in full force preparing
[2:49] for a worstc case scenario. The cause of
[2:52] all the worry, a spring blizzard dumping
[2:54] as much as 40 ines of snow. The weather
[2:58] channels Duran is in Rapid City, South
[3:01] Dakota, where conditions have gone from
[3:03] bad to worse. Jorma, good evening.
[3:06] >> Good evening. and Brian. This violent
[3:08] winter storm will bring blizzard
[3:10] conditions for southwest South Dakota
[3:12] and portions of Wyoming for the rest of
[3:14] the evening and through the overnight
[3:15] hours. This storm will dump more than a
[3:18] foot of snow and will cause visibility
[3:20] and travel issues because we're dealing
[3:21] with winds racing at more than 50 mph.
[3:25] In fact, Rapid City reporting a wind
[3:26] gust of 68 mph. In the next 24 hours,
[3:31] this system will move north into North
[3:33] Dakota. And so those living in Bismar
[3:36] will wake up to these blizzard
[3:37] conditions. And unfortunately, this
[3:40] system is causing a tornado threat in
[3:42] the central plains. So people living in
[3:44] eastern South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas,
[3:46] and Oklahoma will have to pay attention
[3:48] to the weather because Brian, tornadoes
[3:51] are very likely. Jorma Duran out in it
[3:54] for us tonight in Rapid City. An awful
[3:56] night there. Jorma, thanks. Mother
[3:58] Nature was also on the march today in
[4:00] Alaska, where Mount Readout is proving
[4:02] once again. It is very much an active
[4:05] volcano. The mountain rumbled to life
[4:07] over the weekend, venting steam and ash.
[4:10] Shortly after these pictures were taken
[4:12] in the dark of night, Mount Readout
[4:14] erupted repeatedly, sending a smoke
[4:16] plume more than 50,000 ft skyward. The
[4:20] ash looked like snow as it fell miles
[4:23] away on the town of Trapper Creek. This
[4:25] is Readout's first eruption in almost 20
[4:28] years. When our broadcast continues for
[4:31] this Monday night, why are credit card
[4:33] companies cancelling cards [music]
[4:35] even for people with spotless credit?
[4:38] And later, making a difference for some
[4:40] Americans who put their lives on the
[4:42] line for the nation they love.
[4:46] >> My name is Jane and I've got
[4:48] osteoporosis, but I'm an onthe-go woman.
[4:51] I've been active all my life. That's why
[4:54] I'm excited about Reclast. [music] The
[4:56] osteoporosis treatment my doctor gives
[4:58] me once a year. My doctor says one IV of
[5:01] Reclast can help protect me while I'm on
[5:03] the go for 12 months. How? Well, Reclast
[5:07] helps to restrengthen [music] my bones
[5:09] to help make them resistant to fracture.
[5:11] And with Reclast, well, no other
[5:13] osteoporosis treatment is approved to
[5:15] help protect [music] in more places,
[5:17] hip, spine, even other bones. You should
[5:20] not take reclass if you're on Zometa,
[5:22] have low blood calcium, [music] kidney
[5:23] problems, or you're pregnant, plan to
[5:25] become pregnant, or nursing. Take
[5:27] calcium and vitamin D daily. Tell your
[5:29] doctor if [music] you develop severe
[5:30] muscle, bone, or joint pain, or if you
[5:32] have dental problems, as rarely jaw
[5:33] problems have been reported. The most
[5:35] common side effects include flu-l like
[5:37] [music] symptoms, fever, muscle or joint
[5:38] pain, and headache.
[5:40] >> Do what I did. Ask your doctor about
[5:42] reclass year-long protection for
[5:44] onthe-go women.
[5:46] Cheeit bakes so much real cheese in such
[5:48] small bites. People are wondering,
[5:49] >> "How does Cheeit do it?"
[5:52] >> I know.
[6:08] [music]
[6:09] >> Cheese it.
[6:10] >> Really?
[6:11] >> Yep.
[6:11] >> Lots and lots of cheese baked into
[6:13] little little bites. Cheese it. The
[6:15] [music] big cheese.
[6:16] >> Prescription drug prices.
[6:18] >> Everyone's talking about them,
[6:19] >> but now we can actually do something
[6:21] about them.
[6:21] >> At Walmart, their prices are unbeatable.
[6:23] >> Over 300 prescriptions are just $4.
[6:26] >> $4.
[6:28] Imagine that.
[6:29] >> Save money, live better. Walmart.
[6:31] >> Want faster pain relief? Get Advil
[6:33] Liquid Gels. They're faster and stronger
[6:35] on tough pain than Tylenol Rapid Release
[6:37] Gels. Advil Liquid Gels crush real
[6:40] liquid relief wherever you hurt. Advil
[6:42] Liquid Gels. Liquid fast. at Bill
[6:45] Strong.
[6:46] >> Understand the politics of a [music]
[6:48] changing America. MSNBC follows
[6:50] President Barack Obama through the first
[6:53] 100 days on MSNBC.
[6:57] Of all the things to worry about during
[7:00] this financial crisis, how about this
[7:02] one? You pay your credit card balance on
[7:04] time, even pay in full. Maybe you have a
[7:07] card you don't use at all. It turns out
[7:10] even that can be risky to your financial
[7:13] security. Our report from CNBC's Trish
[7:16] Rean.
[7:19] >> Jay and Loretta Maxwell of Troy,
[7:21] Michigan assumed they were the kind of
[7:22] customers bankers craved.
[7:24] >> We have never missed a payment on any
[7:27] credit card. We have never been late on
[7:29] a payment on any credit card ever.
[7:31] Period. [snorts]
[7:33] >> So Loretta was stunned when Chase canled
[7:35] her $6,000 credit card in December,
[7:37] saying it was inactive.
[7:39] >> I couldn't believe that they would close
[7:40] my card after almost 20 years. Then Jay
[7:43] got a notice that the credit limit on
[7:45] his GM card had been slashed from
[7:47] $19,000
[7:48] to 300.
[7:50] >> When they reduce your credit down to
[7:51] $300, there's not a whole lot you can do
[7:54] with $300.
[7:55] >> Bank analyst Sheamus McMahon says banks
[7:57] are scrambling to reduce some of the
[7:59] nearly $1 trillion worth of unused
[8:01] credit they've extended to customers.
[8:03] >> We're seeing fewer people paying their
[8:05] loans on time, more people declaring
[8:07] bankruptcy. So, the squeeze is on
[8:10] >> with unemployment rising. So is the
[8:13] amount of unpaid credit card debt.
[8:15] Americans defaulted on an estimated $68
[8:18] billion in the final 3 months of 2008.
[8:21] That's more than twice as much as they
[8:22] defaulted on in all of 2007. To protect
[8:26] themselves, banks are exercising options
[8:28] they've put in the fine print of
[8:30] customers credit card agreements.
[8:31] They're pulling credit lines and in some
[8:34] cases even providing customers with
[8:36] incentives to take their business
[8:37] elsewhere. American Express recently
[8:39] offered some customers $300 to close
[8:43] their accounts. But as the Maxwells
[8:45] learned shuttered accounts come with a
[8:46] price after credit card companies
[8:48] eliminated three of their cards last
[8:50] year, the Maxwell's credit score fell
[8:52] from 862 to 776.
[8:56] That's because, as credit counselor Gail
[8:58] Cunningham explains, the second biggest
[9:00] factor in your credit score after paying
[9:02] your bills on time is the amount of
[9:05] available credit you use. I recommend
[9:07] not using more than 30% of your
[9:09] available credit to stay in good
[9:11] standing with the lender.
[9:13] >> To prevent banks from closing accounts,
[9:15] she suggests people with multiple cards
[9:17] charge a little something on each every
[9:19] month and pay them off in full. Or as
[9:21] Loretta Maxwell warns, use it or lose
[9:24] it.
[9:25] >> You're going along and you're doing
[9:26] everything right. You just you don't
[9:28] expect it. It it blindsides you
[9:30] >> and you're wondering how the market
[9:32] turned out. And in this economy, you
[9:33] never know when you may need a little
[9:35] extra credit. Trish Rian, CNBC New York.
[9:40] >> Lance Armstrong, seventime winner of the
[9:42] Tour Def France, was injured today in a
[9:44] bad biking accident in Spain, breaking
[9:46] his collar bone in a multibike pileup.
[9:49] Armstrong was hospitalized in great
[9:51] pain, later released. He walked gingerly
[9:53] to a waiting car afterward. Lately, he's
[9:56] been planning a tour to France comeback
[9:57] after taking off more than 3 years. But
[10:00] Armstrong said today the injury creates
[10:02] what he called a very big problem for
[10:04] the tour which begins on the 4th of
[10:06] July. When we come back here tonight,
[10:08] there's a full-scale war going on within
[10:11] sight of the United States. A look
[10:13] tonight at who might be winning.
[10:17] >> I thought I knew all about my high
[10:19] cholesterol.
[10:20] >> But then my doctor told me something
[10:21] [music] I didn't know.
[10:22] >> While I was building my life, plaque was
[10:24] building in my arteries. It had been
[10:26] building up most of my life. That's why
[10:28] [music] my doctor prescribed Crestor to
[10:30] help slow the buildup of plaque.
[10:32] >> People like you are learning that plaque
[10:34] [music] can build up in arteries over
[10:36] time and that along with diet, Crestor
[10:39] lowers bad cholesterol, raises [music]
[10:41] good and is approved to slow the buildup
[10:43] of plaque in arteries. Is Crestor right
[10:45] for you? Crestor isn't for everyone.
[10:47] [music] Like people with liver disease
[10:49] or women who are nursing, pregnant, or
[10:51] may become pregnant. Simple blood tests
[10:53] will check for liver problems. [music]
[10:55] You should tell your doctor about other
[10:56] medicines you're taking. Or if you have
[10:58] muscle pain or weakness, that [music]
[10:59] could be a sign of serious side effects.
[11:01] Like others, while you've been building
[11:03] your life, plaque [music] may have been
[11:04] building in your arteries. Find out more
[11:07] at cres.com.
[11:09] Then ask your doctor if [music] it's
[11:11] time for Crestor. If you can't afford
[11:13] your medication, Astroenica may be able
[11:15] to help.
[11:17] >> This might not be the [music] best time
[11:18] to sell a home,
[11:20] >> but we just can't wait for the market to
[11:22] heat up.
[11:22] >> Need to sell? Remax agents have [music]
[11:25] the experience to get the job done.
[11:27] Nobody sells more real estate than
[11:29] ReMax. Where do you want to be?
[11:32] >> Go on, use the dog face. This is going
[11:34] to be beautiful.
[11:35] >> What does that mean?
[11:36] >> You know, ever so slightly. Look up.

[11:41] home Bolt.

[11:50] [music] dust as flowers bloom and pollen
[11:52] floats through the air while I sneezing
[11:54] itching eyes looked for safer havens in
[11:57] the air conditioning. But now with the
[11:59] [music] strength of 24-hour Zerek to

[12:55] seas. Tomorrow and today on NBC. Nightly
[12:58] News at nightly.msnbc.com.
[13:03] >> Today, Mexico put a price on the heads
[13:05] of 24 top drug lords, $2 million each
[13:09] for information leading to their arrest.
[13:11] Which brings us to tonight's in-depth
[13:13] report on the growing violence of
[13:15] Mexico's drug wars. Violence that lately
[13:17] has been spilling across the border into
[13:19] the US. The Mexican government is now
[13:22] making a concerted effort to stop the
[13:24] killing. And NBC's Mark Potter visited
[13:26] one city very close to home to see how
[13:28] they're doing.
[13:32] Right across the border from El Paso,
[13:34] Texas, Wararez, Mexico is a much
[13:36] different place today than it was just a
[13:39] month ago.
[13:41] Wararez is now teaming with more than
[13:43] 9,000 Mexican troops and federal agents
[13:46] as the government cracks down on
[13:47] drugrelated violence and local police
[13:50] corruption which had spun out of control
[13:52] here.
[13:54] Last year alone, more than 1,600 people
[13:57] were murdered in Huarez in a war between
[14:00] rival drug cartels fighting over
[14:02] lucrative smuggling routes. Before the
[14:04] crackdown, the police chief resigned
[14:06] when traffickers posted signs
[14:08] threatening to kill his officers. They
[14:11] also threatened the mayor, Jose Reyes
[14:14] Fariz, but he fought back. We're no
[14:17] longer going to allow those groups to
[14:19] have an influence on a police
[14:21] department, to have a police department
[14:24] helping uh organize crime and do their
[14:26] their thing within our city.
[14:29] So, two weeks ago, at the mayor's
[14:31] urging, 5,000 Mexican soldiers headed
[14:33] for Wararez to join 2,000 more already
[14:36] there. Their first mission was to take
[14:39] over the police department. The mayor
[14:42] says as soon as it was announced that
[14:43] thousands of troops were coming here,
[14:45] many of the traffickers began to move
[14:47] away, not wanting to get trapped when
[14:49] the troops arrived and surrounded the
[14:52] city. Almost immediately, the crime rate
[14:55] plummeted from 10 killings a day in
[14:57] February to hardly any now. Residents
[15:00] and shop owners are much more relaxed.
[15:03] >> A lot of them are telling me, uh, we're
[15:05] going out and more people are going out
[15:07] and taking advantage of the city again.
[15:09] >> The mayor says the troops could stay for
[15:11] a year until the police force can be
[15:14] retrained and doubled in size. And even
[15:16] though I think a lot of people don't
[15:17] like having the military all around,
[15:19] it's sort of the lesser of two evils
[15:21] given the violence that was being
[15:22] wreaked by the cartels and parties.
[15:24] >> Violence that at least in this city for
[15:27] now is under control. Mark Potter, NBC
[15:30] News, Wararez, Mexico.
[15:33] After a secret wedding in Montana, one
[15:35] of the last known holdouts has fallen.
[15:38] And David Letterman announced today he's
[15:40] a married man. and he and his longtime
[15:42] companion Regina Lasco tied the knot
[15:44] last Thursday in Teton, Montana. Their
[15:47] son Harry is 5 years old. When we come
[15:50] back, a special place that gives back to
[15:53] those who have given so much, and by
[15:55] doing so, they're making a difference.
[15:59] [music]
[16:00] >> I know rheumatoid arthritis is painful,
[16:02] but I didn't know it could attack my
[16:04] joints. Scientists believe that in
[16:06] moderate to severe RA, your immune
[16:08] system can cause serious damage.
[16:11] >> But Enil enables me to [music] fight
[16:13] progressive joint damage.
[16:14] >> Enil works on your immune system to
[16:16] suppress inflammation, help relieve pain
[16:18] and fatigue, and keep joint damage from
[16:20] getting worse.
[16:21] >> Emeril gives [music] me energy to do
[16:23] many of the things I love.
[16:26] >> Because prescription Emeril suppresses
[16:27] [music] your immune system, it may lower
[16:29] your ability to fight infections such as
[16:31] the flu. So don't start it if you have
[16:33] one. Serious, sometimes fatal events
[16:35] have occurred, including viral,
[16:37] bacterial, and fungal [music]
[16:38] infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, and
[16:40] nervous system, and blood disorders.
[16:42] Tell your doctor if you're prone to
[16:44] infections, have any open sores, have
[16:45] had hepatitis B, [music] have been
[16:47] treated for heart failure, or if while
[16:49] on Enrow, you experience persistent
[16:51] fever, [music] bruising, bleeding, or
[16:52] palenness.
[16:53] >> Ask your rheatologist and envision your
[16:56] possibilities with Enrowil.

[17:30] I don't always let my bladder problems
[17:32] or the worry my pipes might leak
[17:35] compromise what I like to do. Like
[17:38] hunting for bargains, not always

[18:58] Our request for good news stories still
[19:00] stands. A while back, we asked you to
[19:02] email us with the stories of the people
[19:04] who are performing acts of kindness for
[19:06] strangers in this bad economy. We
[19:08] received several emails from Jonesboro,
[19:11] Arkansas, like this one from a nightly
[19:13] news viewer named Bridget. She reads,
[19:15] she writes rather, "We are so fortunate
[19:18] to have an incredibly generous
[19:20] orthodontist here in Arkansas. Benjamin
[19:22] Burus has started a foundation called
[19:25] Smile for a Lifetime. He's doing braces
[19:28] for children that are in need and cannot
[19:30] afford it. The cost to them is zero. Ben
[19:32] does all the work for free. He's been
[19:34] working hard to get the foundation to go
[19:36] national, and last week it did. Now
[19:38] there will be many orthodontists doing
[19:40] this in their hometowns, too. Not only
[19:43] is he an incredibly generous man and
[19:45] professional, but I am so proud to say
[19:47] that he is my husband, too. He is taking
[19:50] these tough times and making them so
[19:51] much easier for many families. Well, our
[19:54] thanks to Bridget. It's in that spirit,
[19:56] making tough times easier for people
[19:58] that we present tonight's making a
[20:00] difference report. It's about the heroic
[20:02] Americans who have volunteered for
[20:05] military service and who've come home
[20:07] wounded. We asked our NBC News military
[20:10] analyst, Jack Jacobs, a recipient of the
[20:13] Medal of Honor, to tell the story of the
[20:15] people making a difference in their
[20:17] lives.
[20:20] >> I start every day just thankful to be
[20:22] alive.
[20:22] >> Master Sergeant Thomas Moresy was on
[20:24] patrol in southeast Afghanistan.
[20:26] >> I took eight direct hits from an AK-47.
[20:29] Doctors managed to save Morrisy's life
[20:31] and his limbs and then sent him here to
[20:34] the active duty rehab unit at the VA
[20:36] Medical Center in Augusta, Georgia. The
[20:38] only rehab facility in the country that
[20:40] combines the medical resources of the
[20:42] departments of defense and veterans
[20:44] affairs.
[20:45] >> This unit made a a distinct difference
[20:46] in my life because it it helped me
[20:48] recover my functionality, which is
[20:50] something at the time I I never thought
[20:52] I might have again.
[20:52] >> They're going to fit you for a
[20:53] prosthetic and
[20:54] >> they did. They've already fit me for the
[20:55] prosthetic. When you get it
[20:56] >> next week,
[20:57] >> Corporal Joshua McCart's hand was
[20:59] mangled in an IED blast in Iraq. Here,
[21:02] he gets more specialized physical
[21:04] therapy and says that the collaboration
[21:06] between military agencies allows him to
[21:09] focus on getting better rehabilitation
[21:11] rather than having to deal with the
[21:13] bureaucracy. When you don't have to
[21:14] worry about doing paperwork and getting
[21:17] one group to justify doing something for
[21:19] the other, you can when you don't have
[21:22] to focus on that stuff, you can focus
[21:23] just on the healing, just on getting
[21:25] better and going home.
[21:27] >> Hey, I appreciate it. Thank you very
[21:28] much all the way. The facility is making
[21:31] an impact on the community as well.
[21:34] >> It's the closest thing to a fist I think
[21:35] I've ever made. the only VA active duty
[21:38] rehab in the country.
[21:39] >> Lori A quit her job as a local
[21:42] television anchor after she did a story
[21:44] on the rehab unit. She now dedicates her
[21:47] life to being an advocate for wounded
[21:49] warriors and their families.
[21:51] >> It's significant because people's limbs
[21:53] are being saved here. People are being
[21:55] restored to wholeness. People are having
[21:56] the best outcomes possible.
[21:59] When kayaks were needed to allow the
[22:01] injured to have fun and rehab at the
[22:04] same time, Lori got them donated.
[22:07] >> I do this work because I think our
[22:08] wounded warriors deserve excellence in
[22:11] return for their service.
[22:12] >> But the unit's focus is on more than
[22:14] just the physical needs of the soldier.
[22:16] >> There has to be a sense when those
[22:18] people come back that they're being
[22:20] nurtured, they're being supported, that
[22:21] they're being cared for, that those
[22:23] people matter.
[22:27] Uh Brian, as a product of the military
[22:29] health care system myself, I say that
[22:32] this should be a model for military
[22:34] rehab centers across the country.
[22:36] >> And now you are on record, Jack. Good to
[22:38] have you as always. Jack Jacobs, Medal
[22:40] of Honor recipient, nightly news
[22:42] correspondent. One of those titles is
[22:43] handed out by the president. That's our
[22:45] broadcast for this Monday night. Thank
[22:47] you for being with us. I'm Brian
[22:49] Williams. We of course hope to see you
[22:50] right back here tomorrow evening. Good
[22:52] night.

[23:06] >> He has a history. You're looking at a
[23:08] man arrested Friday after fleeing police
[23:10] and smashing several vehicles in the
[23:12] process. How this is far from his first
[23:15] brush with the law. Trouble at the mall.
[23:17] A fight at Lloyd Center ends with two
[23:19] teens stabbed. The new measures police
[23:21] are launching to curb spring break
[23:23] violence. and wildlife on welfare. Is it
[23:26] ever okay for man to feed the animals or
[23:28] should we always allow nature to take
[23:30] its course?
[23:31] >> If we can keep these elk on some type of
[23:33] artificial feed, it really helps with
[23:34] our trapping relocation project.
[23:36] >> Why Oregon intervenes, Washington won't.
[23:40] >> From the KGWHD
[23:42] studios,
[23:45] where the news comes first. News Channel
[23:48] 8 at 6 starts now.
[23:51] >> Hello, I'm Joe Donlin. and I'm Tracy
[23:53] Barry. First at 6, it was a police chase
[23:56] that ended in disaster in Albany when a
[23:59] suspected car thief wouldn't stop.
[24:01] Tonight, that suspect went before a
[24:03] judge. And it's not the first time
[24:05] either. News Channel 8's Anne Joerger is
[24:07] live at the courthouse in Albany. An
[24:10] >> Tracy Kyle Holder looked and acted like
[24:12] a tough guy in court, but as 16 felonies
[24:15] are read against him, that facade slowly
[24:17] started to fade. Now a five-time car
[24:20] thief who was on the streets. Detectives
[24:22] say he will not slip through the cracks
[24:24] again.
[24:26] Kyle Holder clearly didn't want us
[24:28] taping him as he held a piece of paper
[24:29] in front of his face. Once before the
[24:31] court though, he had no choice. As the
[24:33] judge read him the 16 class 3 felonies
[24:36] he's accused of. From Sky 8. You can see
[24:38] the havoc. Police say this
