A good way to keep your info private is to not trespass, not post pics taken in unauthorized areas, not taunt Disney and others to come get you, and avoid arrest. I just have a hard time mustering too much sympathy.

News Buzzy’s been stolen?

Who said we should do that? His information is public record because he committed a crime. That's how it works

I think it's highly unlikely that Mr. Backdoor stole buzzy. It's just not a one person job. But based on that report, he did something.
However, my gut also tells me that it's probably the fact that he has tons of backstage footage and photos on his phone that implicate him, or maybe he took something else, rather than the fact that he actually stole Buzzy.
By the way, if the police ever request your phone: if you have an iPhone you can hold down the Lock and Volume down button, or you can set it up so rapidly pressing the lock button five times in a row, to "emergency lock" your phone. It will not be unlocked without your passcode and you do not have to give your passcode to the police. Police can force your thumbprint or Face ID - these will be disabled until the passcode is entered.

Unlikely. First hearings like this are more procedural and to work out when parties will feel they are ready to proceed with a trial. That's if it were to go trial... which, given what isn't in the police report... id be shocked if it were to actually goto a trial phase. Probably a plead out or just be dropped.

Maybe it was already mentioned here, but did you see the new account he supposedly started already?

He already entered a written not guilty plea to their charges. The arraignment hearing is on the 17th. They’ve already requested discovery for all the evidence prosecution has, and the actual complaint form is multiple pages long but not yet accessible to the public. I suspect that form has more info in it that some of us don’t know yet.

I love Marni. I believe he has credible information 99% of the time. But when there's an actual police report out there, spelling it all out in black and white, come on now. This case is closed, as far as the law is concerned.

Given it's an arraignment - it's gonna be a enter the plea and set a trial date. Or be settled. Yes it will be nice once more docs get through the process... but the charge he faces isn't likely to open up much about stuff outside this scope. Maybe some hints about what lead them to getting the search warrants and if that happened because of the interview...

While the report is b&w - it also is only within the scope of itself... it doesn't tell you much outside of it.... nor should people make leaps from it.

I really hope Backdoor Disney leaks that video/audio.

All that was confirmed was someone named Patrick Allen Spikes was questioned in relation to the theft of Buzzy’s clothes. I don’t think any news outlet has said that’s BDD, but if it was, police at least suspected he was involved.
He was not charged with the theft. He was charged for “resisting an officer without violence” for refusing to hand over his phone.

I just hope Buzzy doesn’t end up chopped up and sold for pieces, laminated in souvenir pins like the hot air balloon from Muppet Vision 3D.

I’m no lawyer, but I have a feeling he’s getting out of that resisting charge. It’s seems like a bit of a stretch to me. Obviously we’re not getting a perfectly clear picture in a paragraph description though. I wonder if they’re even able to access his phone and even more interesting would be if he was dumb enough to walk into a sheriff office with incriminating evidence on his phone. Sounds to me like they just wanted to charge him with something while they try to find something more substantial.

Fidelity. If you're a fan of HBO's Westworld you should be chuckling about now.
This doesn't look like anything to me...

He always read to me like an immature kid on a power trip. Reality caught up with him and he wasn't mature enough to handle the consequences.

Since the cats out of the bag, are you able to say whether or not Patrick Spikes is Backdoor Disney?
What is the name of his account now?
