Has the sorry excuse for a mother who killed her child while driving under the influence been taken into custody? She intentionally drove while impaired. You understand the consequences when making such choices. I pray she wasn’t able to attend any services for the murder she committed. If she was, that’s another slap in the face to him.
STILL NO ARREST FOR ASHLEY NOLAN. WOW..
Yall need to pay at least half as much attention to local politics as you do to local crime. I mean, if you enjoy being outraged. The scope of impact of her poor decision making was pretty limited by comparison. Not to say that it wasn’t a horrific tragedy, and you’re right, she should be in jail. But I’d like to see this kind of follow up on the commissioner meeting articles. Set aside your desire for vengeance and get involved in your community, we’d all be better for it.
