Holly,
There's only one "E" in "St. Clairsville" (it's in eastern Ohio by the way), and the Pap "Steffman" - he has no first name??

Not directed at you personally, knowing the edits your story goes thru before hitting the web, but geez, the story's in Ohio...

Roffles. This is no surprise coming out of Fartin's Merry and Fridgeport.

I think that Dojack And Carpenter both should be sent to prison. and Dojack should not get paid for not working like he is. i live in Belmont county

The law in these Southeastern, Ohio towns are the equivilent of Boss Hogg and Roscoe.

wow. if we cant even trust the cops anymore, who are we to trust???

[Rob]

i think they should get the death sentance. we trust police with our lives and safety. to betray people like that should demand an ultimate penalty.

You're a fool if you trust the police. You believe in Santa too? Don't trust people just because you're parents told you to when you were a kid. Some are good but, you don't know which ones. They write tickets for a living. They don't care about you.

I'm so confused. So the photog and his GF went to Ohio to take pics of the surrogate without knowing where she lived...they thought the cops would give them her addy? But...how did the photog know about the cops, like what led to their meeting and all? What are these "series of events?! " This is a poorly written story.

This story rates very high on my weirdo meter.

[Gillman]

What is this? Dukes of Hazzard??? Are these chiefs like Boss Hog and Roscol at the Hazzard County?

Gob, how many times have you broken the law and gotten caught... Sounds like your a little bit upset with policepeople. Obey the laws and you have nothing to worry about...
