What a waste of time! They will all be out in no time flat if not already. When the punishments don’t fit the crime, the bad just don’t care. They will continue doing what they do.
@MR REALITY
Why would we want to “fill our jails up”?
Shouldn’t we instead be trying to reduce recidivism and tackling the causes of crime before they even happen?
This attitude is common, and likely part of the reason the US has more people incarcerated than any other country, both per Capita and total number.
This massive arrest is not even mentioned on the “other source” for news in our area…however, one can find where to buy beer and listen to music and all the “important” items that really, really, really…affect our community. Thank you for covering this. Kinda a big deal… 70 arrests.
Good job to all LEO’s involved! God bless you everyday in every way. Great job, ECSO!
Thank you for enforcing the law, if it’s illegal arrest the trash. For the people that complain, go apply for a law enforcement job or shut your mouth.
Bravo! Sad to see so many young people.
Now, Sherrif Simmons, START ENFORCCING SPEEDING LAWS and that gives you PROBABLE CAUSE to pull people over….YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WILL FIND…FILL OUR NEW JAIL UP!!!
Their first appearance before our liberal judges and they will be back on the street in no time.
The marshals hit the house across from me Monday, they didn’t arrest anyone. But I’m wondering if this was part of it.
Don’t let all the effort and resources be in vain, no bonds, no plea deals, they were arrested for specific reasons, expedite them to prison – you picked up all the trash, don’t let it litter our streets anymore…
I guess you have to wait until the number reaches 70 before you start arresting criminals.
Great job by the agencies, but how many are still locked up, these liberal judges in town let them right back out.
Finally they actually worried about the ones that were dangerous. There is no point in wasting resources on taking down weed dealers. Put everything behind these kinds of operations.
Good job.
