glad to see their names and faces.
Great work, to both the MSHP & local LEO's. Thankfully these idiots didn't hurt anyone during their run...
Anyone know why they wouldn't also be charged with other stuff, like resisting arrest by fleeing in a m/v... unlawful use of a weapon... etc?
It's sad how young people can ruin their lives at such an early age.
While I agree that it is sad how young people can ruin their lives at such an early age, stop and look what this boy did to the three young ladies working there that night. I hope they throw the book at this worthless piece of crap. His bond is set at $50,000.00 cash only, which in my book, isn't near enough. His arraignment is schedule for 10:30a.m. on December 23rd. I plan on attending.
