Latest info about Gary Best/Garnet Best from Facebook:

...he was pushing drugs, claimed to be undercover, and also seemed to know at least one seemingly legit businessman (not sure if the reverse is true). Anyway, I found myself in a potentially compromising situation by being too friendly/naive after this guy introduced himself.

He's been arrested! ! ! !



Ok, so it sounds like he's been attacking and robbing people on RiverSide.

He fucked with the wrong dude, and got his ass kicked!

Jumped jumped in the river and when he came back the police grabbed him! Wow!

And they found drugs and a big knife on him! ! !

The news says he's Australian, but I still think he's Canadian.

I remember he used to always be on the riverside years ago playing Sai, that thing that Cambodians kick around with a feather on it.

We have our man! !
