Good Job EPD!!!
I believe the sheriff caught him
OK so he was!!! I obviously didn’t read well enough, MY Bad!!! 50 Lashes with a piece of Soggy Pasta, AKA a Wet Noodle for me!!!
Glad to here this suspect has been arrested, and no one was hurt. Good Job!
hear here yet not hair
Someone had to do it.
Classic!
Who did he assault, anybody know?
Or just 38’s
He must have thought he was a regular Einstein with that string trick. “If a copper pulls me over he will look in my pockets but will never notice this string tied to my belt that goes into my pants and underwear tied to a bag of meth.” Or maybe he was hiding it from other tweakers? Whatever. He will be out trying new tricks on an hour or two.
Thank you EPD little at a time still matters. Weed has led to all this. Without grower funding less drugs. Sessions its your turn this year to really set our community right.
Kym, how come no reporting on stabing at target? From what I read, kid looks like scary member of a hate group. Forgot the name though. A guy back east killed his gf’s parents and has ties to this small hate group. Check it out.
