    little man with a gun in his hand…dangerous. at least he was stupid enough to tattoo his face, easy to remember, easy to describe. with this string of robberies how much longer can he stay on the loose, i give him less than a month.

    Thank you! We are glad to know he is off the street! And thanks to our local Town Watch group leader Patty Bulack and the officers who are working closely with her! They had their eyes out there….

    tattooing your face is the best way I know of to blend in with the crowd.

    Its funny, how you people judge a person, based on what the media says. Of course what he did was wrong, but you people dont know, so f*** off and worry about what your kids are doing
