William Ford:  

wasn't at Conestoga High after 1992. I was taken into the custody of the State of Pennsylvania for violation of probation. I was on probation because of a crime I wasnt even involved with. What happened is that Michael Migliaccio, another 14 year old teen, ran away from Valley Forge Military Academy in the summer of 1992. He came to my house at 224 Dorset rd in Devon with two other teens by the name of Travis Coleman and Julie Sevadjian. They were headed to 113 sugartown rd where Michael's family lived which was approximately 100-200 yards from my house. Michael's father was out of town so he was inviting us there. He broke a window in spite of my plea for him not to. Afterwards, he waived us in then took us for a tour of his father's new mansion, there at 113 sugartown Rd. I left approximately 30 minutes later then walked back to my house. The three other teens apparently stayed there at that house, stole jewelry, traded it for cocaine. They most likely left that house then went to a local coke dealer nearby at whats now Stonegate at Devon apartments. Michael most likely swore I was involved with the theft then gave a statement implying that I was involved with the theft of jewelry from his stepmom. A few days later, Michael's father called me then I went to his house. He was back in town so he was most likely realizing his son broke into the home. Michael's father accused me of stealing jewelry then began explaining to me that Michael implied I was there at that location and was involved with the theft. Michael lied and told his father that I was the one with the cocaine which was a lie. I was home with my mother the whole time. I was arrested, convicted of Grand Theft and breaking and entering. I was ultimately taken into the custody of the State of PA. I was innocent and was ultimately sent to Norther Tier in Blossburg PA. That's why I connected with North Penn Senior High here on classmates. It was an injust and I was only 14 years old. I wasn't able to act as my own attorney; therefore, I was wrongly convicted then given probation. I ultimately had violated the probation then was sent away. There were other teens at Conestoga High School smoking marijuana and selling it to me during my 9th grade year there. I eventually failed a drug test. I was a witness not a suspect in the theft of the jewelry. During the school year 1993, I wasnt there at Conestoga High School, my mother sold our family home at 224 Dorset Rd in Devon then moved to FL with a fellow she met. By the time I was released from the custody of the state, my mother sold our fa...Expand for more
