Tired; you must be a user also. Perhaps uneducated too? Meth is a disease that needs to be eradicated. It causes many health problems, marital problems, family problems; and all you tweekers out there steal from people that work for what they have. I know of one that has been in prison 4 times already for this; his last stint was for 12 years, he was out in less than 3, and I'm sure he's back up to his old tricks. Hanging around other ex-cons, making and selling the garbage; it's all he knows. He can't read or write, so he can't get a real job. wpsark - it's everyone's business; they steal from honest folk that work for what they have! Dude III - we have to have laws and courts; without them it would be the "wild west" all over, and all you tweekers and crackheads out there wouldn't stand a chance against those of us that aren't messed up on something; and unlike you, I haven't been high today. Monroe - right on with one exception; doubt he could pass 3rd grade.

I will have to agree with blackandproud, a methbilly in Lonoke Co. is certainly not news, it is the norm

how many were high on prescriptions...just wondering...why is that legal and the other is not...why is beer and whiskey legal...and pot or other drugs are not...why is it OK to suspend a mans license...for "failure to appear"...i'm quite sure the police knew where he was and could have picked him up at any time...the nanny state wants your money...wondering again how many of you admire the "moonshiners" of the past...why is that OK and this is not...how many of you admire our founding fathers...in the eyes of the "establishment" they were heinous criminals too...hmmm I think ya'll need to go look at your history books...what happens when the ever present "They" ban your beer...or your bible...hmm come to think of it Jesus was a radicalk criminal too...Dudes post is pretty darn acurate...Judge not least ye be Judged...nuff said...time to start thinkin

The photo of a perfect example of a loser in life; but if he goes to prison, he'll have lots of company with the same type of trash that he is. Perhaps he can even get a 3rd grade education while he's in prison, get paroled, and amount to something in our society, er, I mean nothing.

Let me guess, he has a previous record also. Another example of failure in the justice system.
