Ha, ha, so that’s what was going on! I mentioned to some people that maybe they were feeding the dogs again! Way to go Astro!!
….theft early this morning.. This means to me that they were taken to the lock up, given lunch and might go see a judge today? If not today, probably Monday to be let out on their own recognizance with a promise to appear. Good eats and a warm bed this weekend. Enjoy the paperwork, constable.
Names of the accused?
“Recommending charges”. Y’all will have to wait until charges are in place. Charter of Rights and all that.
