Oh but steve said he was broke and could help me out with a small loan for an emergency. Pos family member right there.
Couldn’t ***
Hahaha guess they will learn the hard way!!!!!
Most people that are related to you, are not family, relatives and family are two very different things.
This is borderline entrapment. New york state taxes tobacco products so bad that it opens the door for illegal activity. Maybe they should arrest the real crooks. Our lawmakers.
There is worst shit going on in jamestown and cops are worrird about cigaretted
instead of worrying about selling smokes maybe u should worry more about the illegal drugs
It’s the only thing cops in Jamestown, NY can make an arrest on & get a conviction. Between the cops and the bumbling DA Swanson, I don’t know who is more incompetent.
All illegal activity needs to be checked. Find another dealer or pay the taxes that will probably have to be used to treat smoking incurred diseases.
