Text of Halloween story that led to arrest of seventh-grader Christopher Beaman in Ponder, Texas:
My flashlight went out and I heard someone right behind me and I turned in a very slowly scared way and boom the lights came on and the door bell rang. I walked very slowly and creepy and turned the knob ding dong the door bell went again. I said just a minute and I will be right there and I looked through the little hole in the door and Robin said Boo. I told him to come in and have a seat and we both wated and wated
for Ismael because he was supposed to bring the ounce so we could get high but half an hour later still no Ismael so I got the idea of freeon and we grabbed a bag and a knife and ran out back to the airconditionar. We througth the bag over the nostle and covered it tightly and used the knife to press the volv We started to hear something after we got high so we ditched everything we quickly run to the door to see who it was and there wasn't anybody there then we head someone at the back door to see who it was I thought it was a crook so I busted
out with a 12 guage and Ismael busted out with 9 nun and we step off the porch and this bloody body droped down in front of us and scared us half to death and about 20 kids started cracking up and (vulgarity) me off so I shot Matt, Jake, and Ben started laughing so hard that I acssedently shot Mrs. Mrs. Henry. Ismael saw somebody steeling antifreeze so Ismael shot over ther near the airconditonar and hit somebody (indecipherable word) also scattered out and went home and my mom drove up and everything was back to normal but they didn't have any heads.
