Does anyone know what TOML business he was working at?
TOML probably isn’t the safest place to take your family on vacation if businesses are hiring suspected murderers.
I can only wonder what other criminals are hiding up there behind an alias
Working under an alias. Hmmm. When do we make use of e-Verify mandatory?
Almost all our hotels and restaurants in Inyo and Mammoth would cry like hell if they had to pay legal citizens what they would want to do that work. Our local council ought to demand e-Verify. But they won’t.
Good, cooperative work, MLPD!
Suspected bad guy in custody. No one hurt.
Good job MLPD.
