Just relax everyone…the Oscars are on. It’s fun.

Oh my gosh does she ever look like what the f**k just happened to me. Kind of mean and a little fugly.

Ya, lets see what you look like.

@SUCKS-Oh Tonya, you are so cute, for a ugly jailbird.

You should see her brother Bubba, bunch of rednecks!

Brent Trout is sugar/fat fueled and the kids are booze fueled. Everyone has a vice. Only not everyone is a hypocrite. We need someone like Goober in town who when he saw Barney Fife make an illegal U turn started yelling, citizens arrest! citizens arrest!

to ing

not on this site, always has been always will be guilty until proven innocent. bunch of know it all idiots around here

I agree, everybody here seems to think cops and prosecutors are Gods little angels. That everyone charged must be guilty. That’s far from the case.

Ah Tonya-you just don’t like cops because they keep putting you in jail.

Innocent till proven guilty?????

I too had not heard of this one. How much did she get away with. I am sure they will try to sweep this under the rug. As much as I hate to agree with Mrs. SUCKS on anything I will agree with this statement. They have gotten completely out of hand and all it does is run up the bill on people who can’t afford it. Most just laugh about the “training” when done. They probably do some good but it is a good example of government out of control.

I hadn’t heard about this. How much did she take?

hey shes a bankers wife so money is no concern so she will get an attorney and postpone this until its forgotten so drop the charges now and get on with life.

What about Prairie Ridge’s license to steal? Judges order defendants to treatment and it’s like handing Prairie Ridge a blank check. Defendants are required to pay whatever Prairie Ridge decides to charge. No incentive for corruption there, eh?…LOL

What a sham. What a shame. I’m glad they got ripped off. Treatment Centers have seen profits and income sky rocket all over do to judges orders. It’s a blank check and when the government pays for services it’s an even deeper pocket to pick. Treatment for pot? Oh, baby please.

I agree. You have to want to quit first. And most people don’t.
Another scam is all that place is

Why is Prairie Ridge in the fault? So its ok for her to steal from PR. You say that people who are picked for drinking and driving are the victims? As an employer they probably paid her a decent wage and benefits. The cost to purchase drugs and alcohol is never a problem for someone who is abusing but then when they are ordered for treatment all of sudden its expensive and becomes everyone elses problem. Drug addiction treatments cost alot because of the factors involved when treating a patient. Medication and payment for counseling and therapy. Studies have shown that a full year of alchol treatment would cost a lot less than a year of imprisonment. Besides, this is someone’s life that’s on the line. What’s a thousand dollars compared to leading a clean, sober, happy, more productive, addiction-free life? Is it fair to those who have lost a loved one because of drunk driving that these people only get a slap on the hand and not charge them anything for their treatment? As far as the family goes, they all could benefit from treatment because of the drinking and driving.

Ya, let’s just take em of one drug and put them on another expensive big pharma drug and then pay Prairie Ridge thousands in talk therapy for the privilege.

Better yet let’s threaten a long jail sentence unless they give Prairie Ridge a BLANK CHECK. Let Prairie Ridge fill it out. Oh, I think the patient needs $2000 more dollars of talk therapy…I mean if they don’t want to go to JAIL.
