And here again you see repeat offenders showing up as a first offense. Absolutely unbelievable. How does this court manage to operate this way without the state taking notice?
Glad to see someone finally arrested their son’s friend on drug charges. Now he needs to get out and serve some of the other warrants for his buddies instead of just letting them run free. Then again don’t want to upset to many people to fast.
You sure can tell which ones are working at the sheriff office on any given week by what has been done. One of the old deputies sure doesn’t do much other than just sit around store parking lots close to town and talk to people. Waste of money. He needs to be out in the county patrolling like he is paid to do.
good they got gregory witham he’s a thief and a liar he has done me and my family so wrong through out the years we love him and all but he needs help
