I used to go to school with him. We went to Newman looks like the Catholic values didn’t stick with him. He was known to get into trouble at school. I see some things never change. I feel bad for his kids the fact that his dad is a woman beater
Yes, thanks for getting involved, most people won’t. The more people that step up and get involved, the better chance we have at stopping crimes like this and others, that seem to plague our towns.
Thank goodness the passersby called the cops.
