It would be great to have some pictures of these three brave men who attacked a 60 year young lady.
The 3 stooges’ ugly mugshots are displayed prominently on the Arrests page. They look pretty useless and wimpy, so I’m hoping they’ll get tossed into general population where their roomies will teach them a much needed lesson on robbing innocent old ladies.
Look on Washington County Sheriff Office Bookings.They are on there.
Why are they doing this at WalMart? Costco shoppers carry more money.
Especially if they are from the Colorado City/Hildale area….
