Tyran Deangelo Drummond finally got justice!!! Just another thug with long rap sheet - One less thug to deal with!

I've been on Honeysuckle for 15 years now. The students have completely destroyed the neighborhood in a matter of 5 or 6 years. The landlords have made quite a few run down houses nice again, but the full-time residents pay the price. It isn't a weekly occurrence to have to call the police...its almost daily now. Salisbury City Police does little to help with the problem. The University does even less.

Wow, how is Sierra Branch not charged with attempted murder? I mean she did stab the guy?

My identical twin lives on Honeysuckle,or so they say.No fewer than a dozen people over the years have either mistaken me for him or asked if I was related to him.Maybe someday we'll meet.

I have noticed alot of Virginia state tags in and around Salisbury of late. All look to have very questionable drivers behind the wheel and occupants. straight brim hats all slumped down darting in and out of traffic.
Hats off to the sheriffs for trying to get a hold on these mongrels.
