Hang the two bums!

Looong overdue, ( one of the victims) do more than hang um high. I'll be there to watch

What a happy-guy smile! I bet it will change when sentenced to jail time. Another example of a fool soon to realize that his actions have effect on families and the local community. I doubt he cares, but at least he will have time to think about it. Assuming he has braincells. Same goes for the lady involved. What losers.

Hope he keeps that smile while in jail. What comes around goes around.

Good Job MPD!!

Who smiles for a mug shot? What an imbecile.

He looks like he is really proud of his exploitations. Somebody should smack that smirk off his face. I sure hope that his youth doesn't get him a slap on the wrist.

Looks like a skinny little white boy punk that will get dealt with by the "brothas" inside. D.O.'s LOVE making sure pieces of excrement like this get what they deserve.

Well everyone beware, this is unbelievable, but both punks are out of jail as of today. Where is the justice?

I want to be the one to smack the smirk off his face. It's personal.

Well the cops were there again at 5:30 am when I finished moving stuff out of my house. I can not tell you how many times the cops have been to that house. I am a victim of his actions and theft. In fact I caught him snooping in my back yard in July and yelled at him to get out of my yard. Should have called the cops then. I am glad we are short selling the house. It was an upscale neighborhood that has turned ghetto thanks to the likes of him.

couldn't have said it better,Marylander. We'll get the neighborhood back,once he's gone for good and also the girlfriend. she's as guilty as he is. Good riddens to both of them. Mom needs to kick both out of her house.
