I’m a big supporter of our local, and State law enforcement officers, but there is not much of a police presence along SR 97.
I’m sure there is a large criminal element traveling from Atmore Al. to Hwy 29.
Don’t our law enforcement representatives
Realize this??
Pickled string beans, jelly, taco holders, toothpaste and a Bible??? Sounds like he grabbed everything.
These thieves are gone hit the wrong address and it will be their last over petty theft!!
Good Lord. This is why we need mental health institutions back. Some people have just lost their minds and need serious help.
