Wow, major crime there.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad they handled this instead of calling the City PD.
ReplyDeleteLooks like since the state stopped working cases with them their detectives have resorted to petty crime .
ReplyDeleteArticle on Delmarva now looks to show two different versions of why state left. Sheriff said state had manpower issues. The state said unit was not effective.
Man with cops like these it's no wonder why crime is nonexistent in the bury! Where's the press releases on the real crime in the bury? By reading the press releases here you would think we only have problems with shoplifters and that they are always caught! How about the murderers or gangs or heroin dealers? Nope, don't have them here I guess. Only caught shoplifters, nothing of importance. No reason to NOT send your precious snowflake here to go to college. Please believe us and send your child and money! We're a liberal college in a democrat state, we'd NEVER hide the truth!
ReplyDeleteAs the owner of a small retail store whom has been a victim of this sort of crime I am angry that all they did was issue a citation nothing more than a parking ticket.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is an addict....that's why he was stealing.

ReplyDeleteThe law REQUIRES police to issue a citation rather than arrest for any crime that carries less than 90 days if they posses valid ID.
ReplyDeleteHe needs to run faster than that if he wants a spot on the Wheaties box.
