I think it is bizarre..I never heard of anyone who is a POI walking into a police station and requesting the LE to point you to an attorney. Seems bizarre to me...I could understand if you were brought in for questioning and then asked for an attorney.
This could be a situation where once they started talking to him he realized how much they potentially had on him and then realized he needed an attorney. Even if he comes in or is picked up on the outstanding warrants for Reckless Driving they will not be able to question him at all about hannah since he has asked for a lawyer
