Alleged Snapchat shooter sends message to Houston police
When KTRK talked with Tarbutton back in October, she admitted to shooting up in the air, but said it wasn't that big of a deal, it was just something to put on social media.
Tarbutton's mother added that the whole thing is a misunderstanding, claiming her daughter wouldn't have been shooting in the air if she thought anybody could've gotten hurt.
Tarbutton said, "We were drinking at the time and were riding around, shooting in the air."
"She's going through a rough patch and we'll take it one day at a time," her mother, Sonya Shumway, said.
When we asked her mother whether she realizes the severity of her actions, she said, "Honestly, I think guns, the severity, I used to be a corrections officer, and I'm a believer in the permit of having a gun."
Then Shumway added, "The area they were in, she knows nobody couldn't have gotten hurt."
Tarabutton said she is just old friends with Cuellar, who police say was in those videos with her.
Tarbutton entered a guilty plea to deadly conduct and criminal mischief. She also admitted guilt to the other two charges she was out on bond for previously -- harassment of a public servant and retaliation.
Tarbutton is expected to report to prison on Jan. 2, after the holidays.
