sweet, another book and release?
Must of been scary at the residents home, glad he’s safe. You deserve a citizen award for courage under pressure, nicely done no one got shot a couple drug dealers off the street with no violence
One would think that a well-to-do dealer in a BMW could afford matching rims.
hopefully the homeowner is armed considering that the have already been released
Rollin on mismatch rims dog thats that meth chariot….Rollin four donuts….
I, too, do not understand the “catch and release” policy in place here. The actions of these two perps seem pretty serious to me. No bail for one who was released on his own recog? I’d like to hear an explanation from the EPD Chief and the County DA.
As far as the one that was released you can thank the low info voters of California for Prop 47.
Still waiting for charges? Did anyone find what they were throwing, while running?
You really cannot blame prop 47. Other jurisdictions do not release people who evade police, invade homes, and possess pounds of dangerous drugs. This is ALL about Mike Downey’s jail procedures. He says he “has to release” these people. He lies.
You know, Gary Webb died trying to tell you why this happens. Catherine Austin Fitts has tried to pick up the torch, getting it published wherever she can. Both extremely intelligent people… with evidence and inside knowledge… and still, after all these years, hardly anyone understands who’s selling our kids these drugs.
Good thing they didn’t get caught out in the woods growing, they might have gotten In trouble.
