Great Job by the Fremont County Task Force! Another loser thinking he can get over on the system and harm a child; meet Bubba, your new cellmate! Throw the book at this guy, lock him up for as long as possible! He deserves nothing but bread/water/hard labor while enjoying his stay in our state prison system. Again, great job by law enforcement; you're the best!
