Love the way some people here have been arrested multiple times for basically the same charges and often between court dates, yet it always reads 1st offense.
You can’t make this stuff up.
Talk about a broken system.
why put the pictures out for all the nosy people to see
Some of these people may claim Louisa but they are not from here. It’s not being nosy to read articles in a online news source. I assume most would read it to have situational awareness of who the heathens are. Unfortunately it’s the same brood each posting.
….and I see you are reading it too. Hmmmmm.
Why get arrested in the first place.
It reads 1st offense bc they haven’t plead guilty to the charge prior to being arrested a 2nd or 3rd time for the same thing.
