I have an idea take all your prescription bottles and fill them with sleeping pills and laxatives. Maybe they will learn.
Ocassional Troller your right, the videos I have prove a different side than the Cops Portray Also! March 3rd traffic stop for instance. Did you get the first police report then the second one they made 30 days later? No you didn’t
What is crazy that the folks are forging prescriptions to get pain killers! I am in physical pain everyday of my life because my old spine is worn out and brittle. I don’t even take the prescribed dose because fear of side-effects is scarier than being in pain. These people are desparate, without common sense and no positive life, or no life at all. How can society reach these folks in a caring and concerned manner?
I’ve read all of your arrest reports, David. They’re public record by the way. All I can say is Wow! You’ve definitely got a different side to you than you portray.
RACIST GRAFFITI REPORTED There are no details because the report has not been written… The Word Written is the key here, sometimes what the Police write are Tale Tales and not always true… Real police departments always make a written report, but here in Centralia you never know what is going to be Written.. I know the Spray Paint Suspect Did It. Write that down!
