Town Talk II
As mentioned in last week’s Friona Star, the city is going after people that owe fines to the municipal court. They say more than $300,000 is outstanding. Inside you will find an ad listing nine of the “Most Wanted” and how much they owe. The police will be stepping up their arrests on warrants. If you owe you better go see Municipal Judge Deborah Campbell before the police come knocking. If you know the whereabouts of one of the folks on the list, the police would like to know.
