It positively is the same Dwight Bennetts. Mr. "I have never done any drugs of any type". Meth is positively the downfall of these folks.

It look's like Dwight Bennett is going to go away for along time. He is living proof of what type of person he has come to be. No wonder why those poor animal's starved to death at Whispering Pines. He was spending his money on METH.Not on them...................

I imagine he will weasel his way out of this one too. Meth has been found at "Whispering Pines" at some point in the last couple of years. Too many people in and out of the house to prove who it belonged to. . . .Now here we go again. Little Mr. Innocent. Always someone else's fault, never his.

It will be interesting to see if Bennett is actually prosicuted, considering his history with Lassen County, and DA Burns..
