Imagine 1/4 pound of meth being done and then the outcome of it.
🙁 This is just so sad. He once had a lot going for him.
I remember him doing meth 30 years ago, but if you say so
REALLY? When he was 2? 5? He has been a creepy SEX OFFENDER & druggie since the early 90’s. FACT, not fiction.
That’s barely the tip of the Mexican methamphetamine iceberg. I wonder which Mexican cartel manufactured it, and which Mexican street gang distributed it. Seems like this Mexican street drug stimulus is the only economic “growth” in fort bragg these days. Either way we hope officer Frank and his colleagues can track down mr partridge’s supplier.
