Meth, meth, meth, meth oh and meth. Tooth fairy must be going broke here in Lawrence County.
Also, if you have dope on you, or are on dope, don’t drive the holler mobile to town. Or maybe not be tweeking at the courthouse. Common sense people. Seriously. Your own stupidity is what’s getting you arrested.
It’s so sad, all these people are getting arrested multiple times for the same offenses. Not paying fines. The courts should make these people do community service & clean up the place. Fix stuff that’s broken, put them to work!!
