Great job Pocomoke police
ReplyDeleteIf all three suspects are under "no bail status awaiting trial," then why is Luquan Brittingham the only one of the three suspects at Worcester County Detention Center? Where are the other two?
ReplyDeleteI just checked. You are absolutely right. Brittingham is the only suspect showing at WCJ. Question: if the summer burglaries were closed by arrest in August and Hayes and Brittingham were involved, then how were they out and about 2 months later robbing Duck In? Wasn't that place robbed last year around this time too?
