I've heard some cases of female crooks.
This is now the issue of modern day crimes, even females are counted.
What a joke this snake was a youth counselor and going on missions with her own belated daughter.....she should be locked up and throw away the key ...Hope she gets what she deserves.Keep those snakes off the street and lockem up like the anilmal she is.
Such laws place a higher priority on protecting. To get the felon off the street, the cop has to wait until he has probable cause to arrest the gang banger for a non-immigration crime, such as murder or robbery.
the sad thing about this snake she will get away with it...Justice never serves her fat az!She needs to go rot in jail where she belonged a long time ago!She is a menice to the whole world!
