From The Files Of The Prosecutor: Who Got Busted

My mom always checks the obituaries in the paper to see if any of her olf friends have kicked the bucket.  I myself get an e-mail from Prosecutor Nick Hermann a couple of times a week, and I always check to see if any of my old friends got busted!   This time,  the list is just stupid local criminals that I don't recognize.  I will say, the list includes one of the first felony charges I've seen filed for carrying synthetic pot.  Anyway, take a look and see if there's anyone you know here.  Hope not!
