This I don’t understand why the girl, 19 was detained when her former boyfriend pulled her into car. This is scary and all to familiar the Sheriffs arrest both parties in a despite. I personally feel it’s wrong. Women should be protected against their abuser not arrested. As I said this is to familiar.
the crazy lady who called the cops on them was wrong, the charges were dropped and it was unnecessary for either of them to be arrested.
