I must ask, Do you write stories like the one with the Icing and Feces with tears in your eyes from laughing, because I do when reading them. Keeping coming it does break up the news abit.
Thanks
I wonder where these deputies go to basic mandate ? They arrested her for driving suspended, but she was not served ! If your license is suspended, you must be served unless it's for DUI or drug offense since your offense was taken in court. If you fail to appear, you must be served and not arrested.
