This is Darrell Reid in my defense I’m the one who had the police called in the first place. Because I was walking my bike up 7th Street when a choice taxi hit me from behind. On a freshly plowed road and then took off cab #17 which I told police. Then they arrested me because they said I was drunk which I wasn’t. Then charged me with1 speed pill. To which they never contacted cab company goodjob
The hole just gets deeper…………
A busy weekend alright with all the drunks and dangerous driving and people hanging out of a car while the driver driving dangerously I sure think so that it was a mighty busy weekend. Only in Cornwall you say. Circus act on the roads and so much of it down there and now and then they get caught. The things that go on down in Cornwall is something else.
