It appears to me, all three had a manbun? Is that a new way to hide drugs or something?
I wonder if they know that other girl from Louisa that they arrested in Kenova??
You talking about Kelley or Brenda? Know them both. Seeing all 3 of them getting picked up was sad, but at least I know they’re safe.
No, the blonde haired girl. Keyera
So sad for Fred! He just graduated Drug Court 6 months ago. He OD’d a few months back, survived it… and now this.
Don’t look like poor ol Fred learned much does it?
It’s crazy, in 2017 I got caught with a baggie and scales and got a 4 year sentence in prison. Hell it saved my life, it cleaned me up and been clean. If more people got into a treatment program that they couldn’t leave then maybe they would change. I did 9 months of rsat.
