Poor Gaiter got caught in the trap. Wanted to be a part time lover.Now just a full time fool.
Dear John. The serious problem is with about 5% of the people who live in Atmore. The police aren’t the problem.
Dear John: No sir, the serious problem was fired and arrested immediately. Now the serious problem/threat is gone. God bless.
Atmore has a serious problem in their police dept.
