    When will these people ever learn? It seems like every week I’m seeing the same peoples mugshot.I pray these lost souls get the help they need and realize they’re not just hurting them self’s but their families also.I hope none have children that has to watch helplessly as these horrible drugs take over their lives.

    They were able to come up with over $40000.Probably all in cash that’s a lot of $20 dollar bills.

    Actually they don’t look too bad. A hardcore meth head will be sporting sores & scars on their face, as I understand, the meth makes them “nervey”, where they get to scratching their face, which causes sores, which they pick at, which causes scarring & more sores, on & on, until they either kick the meth habit or die. :(

    Dont judge so quickly because noone knows the truth but God and the ones involved. Unless your God dont be judging noone.

    Isn’t it strange 1st time offenders get the same as people with long rap sheets?

  9. Nod on May 11th, 2016 1:46 pm

    Pitiful. They all look terrible, guess that’s what drugs do for you.
    Hopefully they will change their ways.

    @Pensacola Pete
    Yes, that is pretty strange. They don’t look like the kind of folks to have $10k laying around, even for drug dealers. Now they really need to be surveilled as they’ll be trying to replace that money as well as hire attorneys etc.
    David is correct. However youd think with that much cash on hand they would try to do good things with the money and stop risking arrest. I guess it just galls me because some people have to break their back to do what’s right and provide for their family and still have little. LEO must really be frustrated just seeing these people out already.

    But I’m asking the good lord to show y’all the way

    REGARDING:
    “Apparently, crime DOES pay!”

    Yes, quite often in the short run.
    It is less likely to pay in the long run, but most criminals are just short-run thinkers.

    David for far-sight and foresight

    It’s funny how some can get in and out of jail on the same charges a 100 times and you get some in there on a few charges and never been in there for drugs and they have to sit there it’s just a messes up system in Brewton Al

    Four released on $100,00 bond each? Apparently, crime DOES pay!
