Monday, January 7th, 2008

A drug bust is serious business isn’t it? If you were a reporter live at the scene, reporting as it happened, you’d need to keep your serious face on. Lucky for this journalist, he had his back to the action, otherwise he may not have made it through the report. Keep an eye out on [...]
