    Its About time that our police catch that guy it has been like 2 weeks since the shooting. If it takes our cops two weeks to find this guy just imagine how long it will take to catch the guy that shot the guy on Ash Avenue.

  • Mel says:

    It did take awhile, but atleast they have someone in custody that’s of interest to the shooting… As for the shooting on Ash Avenue, I havn’t heard anything about that?? When did that happen??

    This is what happens when drugs (prescription or illegal) get a hold of you – So sad for all involved and so far reaching the effects that drugs have!
    Drugs have no mercy, and they are no respecter of persons. Drug’s destroys lives, families and communities….We must be pro-active in the fight against drugs!

    Seems to me the troopers and police are more interested in giving the honest working class speeding tickets, and less interested in the growing drug problem around here. If this guy hadn’t killed somebody there would still be two more of them running around selling dope. The troopers are more traffic police than anything. But what do I know.

    Just another example of our messed up court system! Just 2 yrs ago Mr. Ludvick was in jail for pulling a gun on his son, that incident involved drugs also. I was in the court room when the judge let him off on 3rd party to his wife….and now this happens

    Just be thankful the Troopers are still doing their job. They want this cleared up too. This is their neiborhood.

  • Mitchell says:

    Give the Troopers some slack. None of you know the circumstances of the investigation. I’m glad that the suspect has been apprehended without a shoot-out or something similar. Now, the justice process will be able to take its course.
