Would deploying stop sticks on a bridge be a good idea?

Heard Maryland State, Wicomico County Sheriff's Department and Salisbury Police on scene at bridge.

they gonna break his nose? rough him up a bit? shoot him?

Just don't take him to PRMC and let the pills take their course. No court fees/no free lunch in jail save the tax payer lots of money.

I wouldn't shoot him, but the other ideas will work. He won't get any jail time in Wicomico Co. Just look at the court briefs in the paper. Rather obvious to the most causal observer.

I'm so happy law enforcement in Wicomico County is a cut above.

He wasn't very bright to be driving a vehicle with personalized tags. Easier to remember.

That's messed up to automaticly assume he's black straight off the top. But only to be proven otherwise.

What happened to the black male?

JoeAlbero said...

To those commenting about the suspect being white. The information coming in live stated from the police the suspect was a black male. Mind you, after the fact, they stated the windows were tinted very dark. Again, make you wonder what the pharmacy saw though, eh? Lord only knows, is all I can tell you at this point.

Is the pharmacy staff dipping in the pills?

The pharmacy staff are likely still shaking in their boots...and the media are always getting the facts wrong..please do not make light of these terrifying crimes. I am a pharmacist and scared to go to work for the 1st time in 30 years.

JoeAlbero said...

anonymous 6:26, media got what wrong. Was there a robbery, yes. Did they catch the guy, yes. We, unlike EVERYONE ELSE even delivered pictures, which includes Sheriff Lewis' brand new Suburban.

I'll await your reply. What did we get wrong?

Was the robber black or white? Most of these robbers have been wearing masks, gloves, hoodies...while screaming at the top of their lungs. No wonder the facts are not always accurate. My experience with our local media has always contained at least one inaccuracy. It makes me wonder about the facts in stories I have no direct knowledge about!

Sadly I know Jason haven't seen him in over a year... He was doing so good when he first got out of jail but it seems his old habit got hold of him again. Sadly his young son and sick mother will now have to deal with his choices
