“Omg He’s eyes alone will hypnotize you. Wow what a fine guy.” — Valarie Spradley Hobbs
“Why does he automatically have to be a womanizer and abuser because he is a felon. His charges are weapons charges. Yall dont know why or how he got caught up. Let the women droll….it’s jus a picture goodness.” — Lboogie Harrison
“If i will donate on ur bail, will u be mine for a night..haha” — Taberdo Anne
