    If this is the same Timothy Forrest he has a long criminal record for similar crimes several years ago he is a habitual offender and need to be put a way for a long time.

  3. concerned says:

    I think its time to put this ole boy away for a while,hopefully a LONG while,we just cant have any tolerance or sympathy for people like this.folks work hard for their money and possessions.and for people like this that choose to steal instead of working for what they need is simply NOT acceptable!let him set in jail and think about what hes done and maybe he’ll think twice about stealing again.like they say…you do the crime…you do the time! And the “time” is now!
