ReplyDeleteHe also got rid of another criminal.
ReplyDeleteWell mayor, I guess this is because of Accomack County also. Haha
ReplyDeleteTake the time to check this guy out on the MD Judiciary Search website. He is a repeat offender and it appears he just go out of jail after 18 months for robbery, assault, etc. He has quite a history. I think maybe we should start looking at Beau Oglesby as a replacement for Todd. These people do NOT deserve pleas!! It just is not fair to the tax payers who have to contend with life time offenders!! Now this guy has MURDERED someone!
