Comments
Dollie admitted to anyone who would listen to her complain, proudly and quite openly, to stealing drugs from Westside Pharmacy and Bill has been selling the "candy" for the last year. Her words and his..... to ANYONE and EVERYONE who was in earshot. Coincidentally, she happened to have been hired by Westside immediately prior to the last time they got robbed, April of 2012. Hmmm... call me a cynic, but I just cannot believe it was coincidental.
