Puke!!!!
He has been this way for years. He needs help. I watched him get arrested at the local dollar general. So to the officers when I kinda laughed out loud I’m sorry. Come on Nick you have made even adults feel uncomfortable. Go get help.
Kinda scary
A bout time he got caught puke
About time he gets caught and hopefully punished.
Definitely needs some guidance, a little bit off for far to long without being corrected…
Hes off the spectrum. And needs to be somwhere for sure.
I worked at super one last winter. I was 17. He made it his mission to talk extra long with me and many other younger girls. Sure we are young women but that doesn’t excuse predatory behavior. Anyways I remember vividly seeing him approach a women and her 2 young kids. He kept trying to make conversation with them as their mother was actively trying to shut down the conversation. I watched him the whole time. Absolutely disgusting behavior from a grown man special or not.
I just saw him at the bar a couple nights ago
Not far from my ex-boyfriend. Next of kin is probably on the way .
Let’s not wait until something really bad happens 😡🥺
Gus Stoppelman Pick me up while you go down I-114. He likes poker night at a few of the local watering holes around here, wouldn’t be the hardest woodtick to reach or deal with.
Can remove the word “alleged”
Does everyone know who the prosecutor is? Kristy Kjos will plead it down, if she shows up to work. She likes to “Work from home!”
