    â– walnuthill girl ….I’m with you on the safer living BUT thanks to the “METH” cookers they are now out here with us in the country. They are coming to the country thinking the “smell’ can’t be discovered BUT I got lots of new’s for the cookers…….when I smell it, I’m gonna call and report it.
    I hate what it has done to families.

    I was born and raised in Ensley,lived there for 19yrs before moving to the northend I loved living there crime was low and everyone got alone till things and times changed and it has just went down hill……my mom lived in the same house until my dad passed and I moved to Walnut Hill and me and my brother talked her into coming to live with me….wanted her to be safer then living in the crime and drugs that was going on around her home, it is a shame how people can let things get to them and make them do such terrible things….We need to just thank the good Lord everyday that we are still here and hope for the best.

    According to the Sheriff Departments Website the victim was booked in jail yesterday. I wonder if this is somehow tied together?
