One arrest involves vehicle enforcement stop

Another point is that a few years back Wal Mart implemented a policy that exempted petty thefts, less than $25 from referral to law enforcement. It makes you wonder how much more goes on at this store that is not even reported

Soooooo glad we're getting another Wal Mart....at least our cops will be assured of jobs/income. I'm starting to believe that multiple Wal Marts will be the beginning of our demise...not that the demise hasn't already started, but this type of behavior only encourages more bad behavior. Too bad our council can't do more to stop such tic-tac businesses from moving in. Next up Wise buys...same as WalMart just different merchandise. We may as well use the mall site for a huge flea market. If you build it, So Sac will come.
