A half mile South of the county line. Crooks better buy a better GPS because it makes a big difference.
Comment on article from a Galveston County resident:
It makes me so mad to even read this. There is no humanity among men! Thank you to the diligent officers who worked to get this criminal off the streets. Big thanks, also, to Galveston County for setting the bail so high that this horrible person probably won't be released while awaiting trial.
