Devereux has been charged with aggravated assault, leaving the scene of an incident, and driving under the influence. He was transported to East Providence Police Headquarters for processing.

My text alert is dinging non-stop, so I tap back to the chat.

Barnes

I think that means he’s looking at 3 to 7 years. FUCK YEAH.

Michaels

Roses are redddd, violets are blue, karma’s a bitch, fuck you Devereux!

Winters

That was beautiful Shane

Stone

I’m pretty sure he’s already had a DUI. So he’s probably looking at more like 5 to 10 years.

Nebs

THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER

I’m crying. Please tell me I’m not the only one crying.

Barnes

I’m sitting next to you. You’re not crying.

Nebs

I am crying IN MY HEART.

I wipe the few tears that escaped.

Me

I am not ashamed one bit to admit I shed tears. This is the best fucking news.

Michaels

What a day. Badass Big League appearance WITH a win. Dev got what was fucking coming to him. Now you get to go see your man.

A grin breaks free, threatening to break my face in two. What a fucking day indeed.

Nebs

Oh yeah. Good game, bro.

Winters

Oh shit. GOOD GAME!

Barnes

I am cackling over here. You played some killer ball out there today, Jackson.
