That's brutal.

 

All over some "ginseng theft". Maybe..

[bare foot wader]

ginseng is big money, spent some time in NC, lot of redneck hillbillies in them parts

That's terrible,Hope he get's well.I have no problem with two officers together as it should be.Thinking back now,I have always seen two officers together or very close to each other.

[NAW]

I've only ever seen two together on Simcoe.

 

I've been searched by 1 CO alone, paddling around to campsites in a canoe on a "back" lake.

[OhioFisherman]

I wonder if they could trade ginseng for meth?

[bigugli]

A lot of CO's still patrol solo. In some areas where CO's are stretched thin, and in trouble hotspots, I have seen them paired up with OPP officers.

You don't mess with a mans "Sang" down there. It is a different world across the border. On the same page is a story of a local couple in the same N.C. county that held a woman and her baby captive for 3 months and forced her to have sex with 100 men per week.
