SUBJECTS ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
they weren’t stealing just scoping it out for future endevers………
I highly doubt they were stealing anything. Ozzy is a decent guy. Not that I know him inside and out, but what exactly is there to steal on railroad or alliant property…..and he doesn’t do drugs, so maybe they were actually just walking instead of driving drunk or something. Anyone ever think of that?
Lots of copper and aluminum wire. Duh.
Sounds reasonable. I’m sure this was just a big conspiracy against them made up by “the man”. The PD normally arrests people for simply walking in this city. Seen it a hundred times. Geez.
haha he doesnt do drugs!? u obviously dont know him at all!!
Exactly! One of the best baseball players around and threw it all away for drugs. Waste of life and talent!
There must be nothing left in Bradford and Maxwell to steal. Thats a long drive for nothing, then get arrested. Good job, PD.
