Great Job Pittsfield Twp. Police !! 33 yr. old Holland doesn't look like the type, but you just never know.

I'm thinking of a slack-jawed mouth breather with excessive piercings and tattoos. They might also have facial hair that would look better trimmed or shaved off completely. No wait, that's the kid at the drive-up window!

Judging from the mug shot, this guy leans toward the skinny side. First offense?

And look! in this other story the reporter gave the address of the Coney Island! Egads! "...in the break in at the restaurant, 9850 Chilson Commons Circle,..." Now all the thieves will know where it is!
