  It is sad to see someone who you knew way before the drugs came into his life to be the person that he is today:( I am thankful that he was caught. I only think of what he could have done driving while messed up on drugs. The police saved and innocent person/family from heartache. I am sad for his little one and his family who have tried so hard to reach out and help him. I pray for you Dino because I know you and you are a good person.....

  I think all people charged with drug crimes should get the same jail time. I dont understand America?? You rat someone out then you get your jail sentence reduced. So if he rats someone out then he gets his reduced. Im not siding with anyone. I dont know the other person nor care to. Im happy that we are getting drugs off the street but at the same time we are letting ones who rat out sooner so they can just go get back in the drug life again. And while in jail make them attend drug programs. Drugs ruin all good things. I knew the person before this life. Its hard and I dont look down on him i just wish he would look up into the big blue eyes of his lil one.

  I know it is not right for this man to have the drugs, but the police need to start looking at the doctors that are giving these people the prescriptions in the begining and getting them addicted. It is sad for this mans family. They are good hard working people, and he was a nice guy till he got addicted to the drugs and it took over his life.

  just like everyone knew. This man was set up by the villas man that got caught wit the gun and drugs a couple weeks ago now he wont be in trouble. Now all this guy has to do is turn someone else in and he will be out of trouble to. The lesson here kids is-you can get caught with guns and drugs and you turn someone in and then your out of trouble. The girlfrind of the villas druggie should be in trouble too. You should not be able to RAT your way out of trouble which is a very common thing in Lwr Twp.
