This heading should read: Thanks to the tips from the general public which lead to the murder suspect to be placed in custody.
ReplyDeleteDiscovered buy the public, reported buy the public. But credit will be given to county police dept. "Move on citizen nothing to see here". Were trained for this.
WOW what a stupid and untrue comment. I'm sorry all 10 officers working in the county at once can't see everything.
