That was a mighty big group for one fell swoop. It's like duck hunting. If you don't stir them up, they'll group up.
As a Beech Island Resident I say Thanks to all who help clean up our town, I urge all people to stay alert and let the police know if you think somebody is dealing drugs in your neighborhood.
Good job cops !
Yet another job well done, time to get more!!!
Way to go guys! What is "unlawful use of a phone"?
