If he took less than 950.00 in each burglary along with the possession of stolen property,

I wonder if he would be charged with a misdemeanor for each case thanks to our new

Prop 47. If so, he should be out in time to clean out a few more homes during the holiday

season.


Thanks to the AG Police’s quick work, they were able to take him into custody before he robbed more businesses.


stupid is as stupid does.


On probation, figures. The same people commit the same crimes again and again.


Cut off his hands so he can’t steal anymore.


Meth will make you do things….you never dreamed you would do….


We are so blessed to have the AGPOA!!!!!! Good job!


Not to be grumpy. But, “blessed?” We have the AGPOA because we pay them to protect us and our community They’re not a charitable organization. I have high regard for their dedication and hard work, but I don’t think our Fire Dept. is using holy water in their hoses either. I need more coffee.


Folb is such a wonderful person, no doubt his family is so very proud of him.
