It’s about time.
I’m the mother of Linda Wooldridge I can say that this is progress for Justice but I’m still being told lies by APD chief and the Mayor. They both called me about the charges but lied saying they had made an arrest which was confirmed with DA DERRICK BUTTS that NO ARREST MADE ONLY A FELONY WARRANT ISDUED. I don’t get this justice system my daughter was murdered by a drunk driver and this person has not seen jail yet. Where’s the justice? And why has this police department been so shady about this case. Oh maybe is because the killer works for Contra Costa County????? I need answers NOW
He works for Pittsburg Unified School District as a counselor.
I’m confused about the charges. It says hit and run but the guy remained at the scene according to the article. So how is he charged with that?
29 year old female riding a bicycle at 12:10 AM in Antioch, what could possibly go wrong?
Getting popsicles?
