How long have these plate readers been around? In Selma.
What a macaroon
He literally drove up behind me almost hit me and tried to pass me on the left and fish tailed right in front of me, spun around and fish tailed again. Hit a mailbox on the back passenger side. Tried to accelerate to keep going and flew back across the road into that person’s yard. The car turned and hit the tree on the back end. I kept going because the sheriff was coming down the hill and I didn’t know if I should’ve stayed because he didn’t hit me plus I started having a panic attack. Scariest driving moment of my life.!
AJ, glad you, other civilians and the Selma Police Officer and The Johnston County Deputy involved are all OK. I am unable to say the same for Casey Thomas. 59 Years old, he has been, is and always will be a waste to society. I hope there is a decent judge he goes up in front of that will put him away for life this time. He has no regard for human life.
Hummmm let me see if I have this right ~ $150k bond (which is way too low) and in the article right before this one a pos thug only got $250k for weapons and drugs?!?! JoCo justice system has major issues!!!
