Reminiscent of the old Trot Motel, I know many people were glad when that place closed down. Didn’t think Smithfield had many hotels left that dealers would be able to do business out of.
Sounds like a fine citizen that was arrested and I could not be happier. Thank you LEO’s for a great job. No telling how many lives you saved.
