Uh huh. The little young fool wasn't splitting the take with the right homeys in the courthouse or he'd still be in business. Nothing will come of it. "ACTING" DA Britt won't do a thing with him.

Here we go again people. This OFFICER was charged with 2 counts of embezzlement and 2 counts of trafficking a control substance and HIS BOND IS 8,000... This is disgraceful to our county!!!

However all ya'll people out there who run your mouth sure don't run your mouth to your clerk of court or the district court judge and complain about these ignorant magistrates....

Maybe I am tooting this horn by myself, I hope I am not the only one that sees this is ridiculous...

Lord have mercy on Robeson County...

Good job SBI!!! now start investigating the MAGISTRATES... like the ones that cuss and talk ignorant to the officers and people taking out warrants....
