Guess he will do a nickle down south .
Ice Hole !
His work title is Coin Machine Mechanic.
The comments on here are cold.
Bill, good one.
*Spill not still lol
I bet he had a real icey attitude toward the police, perhaps he’ll thaw and think it over. He might still the H2o on the other machines eventually
Now…he will get enough time…to cool off
Any unattended stand alone self serve machine with money storage is likely to fall prey to thieves
He is hoping to be out of jail by peak summer ice season.
One pictures bond being paid in quarters.
(One is ashamed of oneself.)
David for the innocent
Did he pay for his bail using cold cash?
He has already made his $8000 bond. Guess he will be back at work real soon trying to cover his expenses.
