Thanks to our law enforcement these drug dealers will no be out on the streets where our little ones play.
Lots of these guys have already been listed as arrested on KWHI by themselves months ago. Are they all part of one big ring?
That store keeper with the fake weed was working with all these other people too?
Thank you for cleaning house, I’m sure you guys are still at it.
I AGREE, THANK YOU TO ALL AGENCIES THAT WERE INVOLVED. I APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO EVERDAY FOR THE CITIZENS.
