Earlier Chapter
Cut em loose,you did everybody else. keep on puffin
A known troublemaker arrested yet again. A dangerous misfit with a criminal rap sheet sheet a mile long. The county operates a catch and release program until this occurs. Surely this person, if found guilty, will be in prison for life!! No? What? 10 years? Maybe? And then what? He returns back to Willits? Most likely this is yet another drug- related situation.
No! marijuana growing leading to crime, can’t happen. It’s just your imagination. These growers are peaceful, law abiding citizens, just trying to make a living, and helping our economy.
Who did he murder?
Murder in willits around cannabis seems to be the only thing sustainable.
