Two police officers dropped the handcuffed man on the brick steps before Sheila Harding's front door, she says.
From his knees, 23-year-old Richard William Rogers Jr. pleaded to the woman who helped raise him. "They're locking me up," he remembers saying. "But if you give them a gun, they'll let me go."
It was a startling proposition, Harding says: Trade a gun to avoid a criminal charge.
