i don't know but i don't think i've ever read arrested backyard meth makers portrayed in such a compassionate way in the media..

For Silverthorne, whose father was also mayor in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the arrest was just the latest episode in two years of misfortune.

Last year, he was laid off from his recruitment job with the National Association of Manufacturers, the Washington Post reported.

Silverthorne ended up filing for bankruptcy after owing about $58,000 to creditors and a bank foreclosed on his house, the Post reported. He moved in with a friend.

To make matters worse, an oncologist diagnosed Silverthorne with squamous cell carcinoma of the neck.

"It's been a terrible year for me," the mayor told the Post in late December.
