And here is Medlin's newest mugshot, taken after he was arrested breaking into a WinCo in Portland, Oregon. Police were forced to tase Medlin when threatened to shoot officers, using his hand as a 'gun' under his jacket. We hope Matthew gets the help he so desperately needs and that his story acts as a warning to those thinking their lives will change if only given the time.
