Gustavo!! I know that guy. There must have been some mistaken identity or something, because he does not partake in ANY kind of criminal mischief.. Known him a long time, & he’s strictly been nothing up a MODEL CITIZEN & the kind of person kids should inspire to be! Sounds like Wasco PD has nothing better to do then to pick on the weak and innocent to get their “Monthly Commission” #Sad They need a new sheriff in Wasco! Someone who is going to not only keep the citizens of Wasco, CA safe but also one that’s going to give back to the community as well!! #JustSayin
