Christopher Michael Preston, needs to be locked up for a long time. With his long Criminal Past - he shouldn't be out on the Streets in the first place endangering the Public while driving over 100mph - We have got to Stop Being Soft on Criminals and Giving them Multiple Chances to Hurt or Kill someone in Society.
What's being done about this alleged ""a well-known drug house"?
Good Point - 3:05PM - Have we Shut Down and Arrested all the Parties involved with the Drug House.
