Get to work boys…….
It’s always something.. I locked my doors when I heard it.
By the way, great investigative work to all LEOs involved.
When are they finally going to get rid of Johnson Court? Just tear it down completely. I grew up in Johnston County and this place has been a drug haven and crime ridden since the 1980’s. Why has it lasted this long?
He was found and arrested according to the mugshots
Armed and dangerous, any photos?
Kay drive is government housing….I just want to know who came up with the idea of free rent
Govt. housing isn’t free….. cheap? Yes but not free. It’s meant to help families who are lower income have housing while being able to work towards stability and rent somewhere that isn’t govt. housing; unfortunately not everyone works towards that goal.
JS I agree 100% with you. What you said is true to the best of my knowledge. Only thing is these women let all these stragglers shack up with them (babies daddies etc or other) then you get bull 💩 like this going on. And we all know some of these male stragglers jump house to house, apt to apt just to have a place to lay their heads. Pathetic.
