Shaun the ALLEGEDLY seems to deal with his running. Maybe he was walking very fast or sprinting and not running. Good plea to get off. Since the $300 extra a week that will stop next month in the free money give away from the demons, maybe he was just trying to get ahead.
Judge will probably give him a $500 bond. No matter what the officers say it should be.
If you dummies read , that one word ALLEGEDY carries a lot of weight!
another model Escambia county citizen……..
just we need
Gun laws certainly were effective in this situation.
Stack those charges and take the trash out.
PRISON, NO PLEAS, NO DEALS, PRISON
I work in corrections, glad to house him and have him under my supervision, better with me than on the streets with my family and others. Proud to serve !
