‘I was into the addiction part of the money’
Kenneth Wayne Fulton, 58, says fishing “gets me back to a peaceful nature.”
“I hung out with people who used to do a lot of dope, sell a lot of dope. That’s why I left from down here back in the ‘80s. It was too fast. I was getting in trouble and just kept staying in trouble, so I went to this treatment facility for 28 days. It was rough, but it was something I needed to do. It helped at the time. I’ve been up and down over the years.
“I went to jail once for 18 months, another time for 30 months and a third time for a bunch of hot checks. That was the last time I was in jail, in 2005. I’ve been good when I want to be. I go to church now and I do some other things that help keep my mind relaxed.”
How do you view that earlier part of your life?
“I probably wouldn’t have done things any different. It’s just the way I lived at the time. I really wasn’t into the addiction part of the dope. I was into the addiction part of the money. I’m different now, though. When I was selling dope and doing dope, I was an animal. I’m not an animal today.”
