Great job, WCPD. Didn’t quit and tracked down the bad guy.
Great Job WCPD. I hope the businesses can recover quickly.
Good job WC LE! ..now Becton – do yours and keep him locked up …. imho bail sounds too low
If it’s a 10% bond, then it’s still &22000 to get out-not likely that it will happen.
The real issue is with our DA not pursuing charges with any vigor. Any real
DA would throw the book at him. We’ll see.
It looks like police departments are beginning to shake off the political/social handcuffs, so our guardians can do what they do best. Many thanks for hanging in there during very difficult times. Know for a fact that many many love you!
WCPD! fantastic!
He is on Facebook if you want to see him.
