Yes the law enforcement did their job. Now the judicial systems needs to do their jobs!!! Send them to prison and go back to making them grow their on food and cleaning the roadside. QUIT making the prisons soft worrying about their rights. It would straighten out some of them. Take away the tablets in prison.
When these kind of people destroy other people’s property there should be extra charges and be held responsible for all damages.
I bet the wrecked blue Nissan Altima these two were driving was a rental, as is typical of most drug sellers. Why risks your own ride when you can drive a rental like you stole it when law enforcement tries to make a traffic stop and you have drugs in your ride?
Reply to Whisperjet: You are absolutely correct about the amout of the bonds. If these people have the money to purchase such amounts of drugs, then ALL of the bounds need to be greater. Break their banks and break their wallets!
Fentynal takes lives, so the rest of their lives should be in a cage
Running that dope!!! Typical. I was thinking why don’t they get a job and work BUT nooooo running dope pays a lot more quickly and then when they get caught the system slaps them on the wrist and here we go again!!! Make an example out of this situation and don’t let them get off easy. Next time they will probably kill somebody if not themselves then it’s too late.
Kudos to our LEO’s.
If any member of my family had been hurt by these two , I would be waiting for them when they posted bond. We need to help protect our community and sweep the trash out .
…thanks to our state troopers for catching these
Outlaws and gangbangers..these folks have to be
taken off the streets..
Now., the juditional systems needs to issue larger bonds
and more jail and prison time for these
folks to protect our law abiding men , women and
children of Escsmbia county…
Poison peddling trash needs fifty years a piece.
New residence at the Inn… All dressed appropriately in green. Enjoy your extended stay
