Bill,
FYI someone did the more leg work and found out more on this sorry guy!
He should make restitution to all the victims by paid in full!!
Sad thing is hardly ever does someone see restitution. I know my mother hasn’t yet and it’s been over 19 years.
I guess the county keep the restitution funds for the county personal expenses because people go and pay hundreds of dollars a day to the court house in Smithfield and I know because I know
