Veteran from Makeover Video Arrested

Share

    Jim Wolf, a 54-year-old homeless veteran, pled guilty Monday to charges of trespassing and creating a disturbance at a Grand Rapids Burger King. In a video uploaded to YouTube earlier this month, Wolf was given a makeover by Grand Rapids charity Dégagé Ministries. The clip -- which describes Wolf’s struggles with alcoholism and poverty -- ends hopefully, with the promise of Wolf starting to regularly attend Alcoholic Anonymous meetings. (As of Thursday, the video has more than 15 million views.) On Monday, Wolf pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges after being arrested on Nov. 17. "I have been drinking," Wolf acknowledged to WOOD-TV. "I have no excuse for what I do wrong. It is all me putting a bottle to my mouth."
