26 REDS & A BOTTLE OF WINE

Okay, our Person of the Week award isn’t always given out on time. Some weeks not at all. You try coming up with a human depraved enough to warrant this sort of attention. Okay, it’s not that hard, but keeping it interesting can be a challenge. I mean, where do you go from a guy who drinks children’s urine? Well, if he’s the insult, meet the injury.

Meet father of the year candidate Byron Perkins. While awaiting sentencing on various charges that carried a minimum of 25 years in prison Byron “Wonder dad” Perkins was allowed out on bond to receive medical testing. Medical testing in preparation for what? Mr. Perkins’s 16 year-old son in on dialysis and badly needs a kidney. Mr. Perkins was to donate said organ.

Instead Byron split town, leaving his son without a kidney and a dad. I guess if it’s a choice between Byron Perkins and no dad you’re better off with no dad. Mr. Perkins is believed to be in Mexico with his girlfriend.

So for putting family first Mr. Perkins is our Person of the Week
