Bring back the chain gang
From this and the water tower deal, It sounds like it would help him and the public if he were committed to a mental institution.
So who left the keys in it, & left it unlocked?
Anyone look up in the water tower?
Has anyone checked the water towers?
Hope he gets life sentence his took so much time away from some good people…its his time to go up state with the REAL BIG BOYS
Know how to stop crimes like this from happening? Bring back the Chain Gang. Make them bust rock 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, I guarantee you wouldn’t have to house them but 6 months, plus they would be too tired to eat or fight .
Lol why they mad now….aint he one of the officers?
Guard your water towers he likes to climb them!!!
“Lock it UP, Keep it Yours”
Wonder how this happened?
Used to be that Mr. HR Adams would have a long way around slow ride trip back to the hoosegow.
Wouldn’t want to be him when they finally catch up with him.
