wow this is ridiculous those dumb girls could have possibly killed the officer, and NO the officer shouldnt have moved. she wouldnt have been trying to get the girls if they would not have stolen anything from the store the officer was trying to protect. the dumb girls should have just confessed instead of it escalating to this level. i got caught stealing at kohls and right away i confessed to the officer, i didnt try to get away and run the officer over.

NO Ethan you shut your mouth! Unless you were there or for anyone who is saying anything on behalf of those two girls, they are BOTH guilty. If Bobbie has a bad rap then DJ being 18yrs of age should know that the bad rap friend will lead you down the wrong road. Bobbie didnt make her start the car and put it in drive. SHE is the one who made the choice. She should have stopped. As for the LP doing her job, she did her job! The LP should have used self defense and busted her right in the face for grabbing her and DJ as well for dragging her. An individual makes a choice to do the right thing or not on their OWN... Yada Yada Yada as the so called Christians state their words. DENY DENY DENY.... They will never learn their lesson if parents continue to bail their children out. Both deserve what they get and the PA should make sure of it!

yeah i guess the lp should have just let those 2 menaces get away she should not have done her job i guess she deserved what she got no i dont think so and it is a public outrage bobbie has alwase been a problem but this is enough people who actually work to provide for there children and dont let the state take care of there children getting assaulted like this no i dont think its that people live in glass houses i think its that most people dont shoplift they work for what they want and i seriousely doubt that the majority of people would react by hitting someone with there car and dragging them i hope these 2 get the harshes sentence allowed by law and i think citizens need to stand up and see that it happens justice needs to be served i hope i never hear of these 2 again they arent worth wasting time on the news.

You cant blame someone for actions of others. Start the car, Not start the car? Hmmm Excuses excuses excuses and yet the parents or parent will try to bail their children out of anything instead of letting them learn their lesson.

I don't think you can blame Bobbie for DJ;s actions so try something else. Your daughter was driving she is the one who hit the lady I mean come on... I've heard of peer pressure but this is a lil too far to say that's whats going on... She is old enough to know better and it is her fault that she was even put in this situation.. So leave Bobbie out of what your daughter has done!!!!!!!!!

WHERE WAS THE PARKERSBURG POLICE WHEN ALL THIS HAPPENED ! WHY WASNT THEY CALLED! I KNOW DESIREE HICKEL VERY WELL HER PARTENTS RAISED HER BETTER BUT THE OHTER GIRL HAS A BAD WRAP AND I THINK SHE HAS ALOT OVER POWERING HER TO DO THESE THINGS. DESIREE IS A VERY SWEET GIRL

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE LEAVING THESE MSGS I GUESS YOU LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE WITH NO CRACKS OR DINGS FROM WHEN YOU DONE SOMETHING WRONG. AS FOR THE LP OFFICER OF SHE HAD ANY BRAINS SHE WOULD HAVE MOVED AWAY FROM THE CAR AS IT WAS MOVING! DUH!!! I DO NOT APPROVE OF WHAT THESE GIRLS DONE BUT I DO KNOW FOR A FACT THAT DESIREE HAS NOT MADE A HOBBY OF THIS, BUT BOBBIE HAS AND SHE IS PULLING MY DAUGHTER WITH HER. MY KID IS NOT STUPID SHE JUST DONE A STUPID THING. I RAISED MY DAUGHTER WITH VERY STRICK RULES AND I WILL SAY THAT ALL KIDS TRY SOMETHING SOMETIME. BEFORE YOU SPEAK OUT AGAIN I WANT YOU TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE IF ANY FAMILY MEMBERS ARE AROUND SO YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN IN THIER FACES AS YOU DOG THIER CHILDREN. MAY GOD BLESS ALL THE PPL RUNNING THERE TRAPS AND PLAYING COP AND JUDGE.

I think you people don't know what your talking about... Have you ever thought about the situation or past these girls have been threw? If they were on drugs why sit there and say "they must be on drugs??!" You should be thinking about the way drugs are effecting our community and want to help people instead of focusing on the problem not what you can do about it!!!

I know the whole family and I know it wasn't Desiree Hinkle's parents fault. I have known thm my entire life. Her parents as well as her friends are trying to make her turn herself in. She is like my sister and it would make everyones life more managable all the way around if she would.

I agree with you to a point. I was just trying to cut blame being put on the economy. These girls seem to have been doing this for sometime. I'm sure that the LP community have been aware of these individuals along with the police for some time. If you look at the raw video you can see how much fuller their purse are from stuffing it. From the looks of them I'm sure that they are mixed up with drugs they look horrible and strung out maybe on pills, cocaine, or meth.

I do agree with LP
Posted by: Friend of Mother Location: Belpre on Oct 10, 2008 at 03:13 PM

I just want to comment on what LP said about the parents. I happen to be very good friends with the mom and I know she did not raise her like that. It seems when you get older you loose all that was taught to you when you turn stupid. Trust me her mother wants her to turn herself in and pay the price, she is very hurt over this. I hope the officer is doing well and will be better soon.
