  1. He deserves to stay in there a long time. Real coward who has to pick on elderly people.

  2. They just don’t get it! entering into CC from DC / PG, with the wrong intentions to commit a crime you’ll be gotten. They already have the notion your up to no good off the breaks. You’re setting yourself up for failure. Every week it’s something going down in CC, these guys & gals missed the memo” If you’re not a resident of CC stay the hell away. CC isn’t the place where you want to go none of the tri-county areas to be quite honest and frank. This is a 0 tolerance for your BS zone. Don’t Bring It To Them You Won’t & Can’t Stand The Heat Stay The Hell Outta There Kitchen. You won’t be going back home, It’s An Automatic Being Held W/O Bond! Especially those who are repeat offenders, Basically, Hang Up Your Hat You Going To Be Staying Awhile at your new place of residency… CCDC

    1. It’s Charles County, they’re going to release him in a week and probably hand him a gun on the way out. I just wonder what the victim’s race was. Whenever the suspect is white they always mention the victim’s race and link racism to the crime. Not TBN, just news in general

  3. Break this cowards legs and arms
    Should be zero tolerance for attacking the elderly

  4. If a judge lets him go free, I will go to the airwaves with this one. I once liked Waldorf and enjoyed all of the food restaurants, now, I stay home and order in. Not a friendly place to be anymore. What a shame.

    1. Give it a try, we just learned how to shake hands and wave/ say hello early this summer down in Waldorf, come give us a chance, and have a cold iced tea from America’s Best Wings!

  5. Wow. Broad daylight on a busy Friday afternoon? What a coward, thankfully his target wasnโ€™t hurt worse! Glad LaPlata PD apprehended the suspect quickly.
