I wasn’t asking for a reward renee! you might want to read what I wrote again, maybe it might sink in this time 🙂 Have a nice day…
What’s next? Home invasion’s? These dope head’s will do whatever it takes to get their dope. We do have a new Sheriff who is at least trying his best to put doper’s in prison. I support him and his deputies 110%. And if everyone watched each other’s houses and neighborhood’s it might deter these doper’s. So let’s all work together and with our local law enforcement. Together, we CAN make a difference. And hahaha Jimmie, i don’t think there is a reward!!
also does the store have cameras? I’d like to see the video… To see if i can I D this guy…
interesting how he got behind the counter with a “knife” before anyone could dial 911 from their cell phone! police, you need to look at it as an inside job!
