Law Enforcement Report

As I read the Sheriff's report in today's paper, I decided that I would not post a Law Enforcement Report this week. While I found several things humorous, I thought maybe I shouldn't overload you with these reports, but rather I should leave my most recent posts to garner the attention for longer. Then...I read the last line in the report and I just could not avoid posting this week's installment of the "Law Enforcement Report."

"A woman reported that her 12-year-old son was bad."

Now you just have to imagine that the officer that took that call got down in the floor and rolled around, laughing uncontrollably for at least 10 minutes.

I'm throwing another one in here for good measure:

"Chet Weber, with the Citizens on Patrol, said a woman who identified herself as Jessie Hester, the animal control officer, stopped by his house, asking for directions to another man's house, so that she could give him a rottweiler to care for. Weber gave her directions, but she soon came back and said she couldn't leave the dog with the man because he has a daughter, and rottweilers are notorious for attacking and chewing up children. For reasons not stated in the report, Weber then called the second man's probation officer, who told him to call the sheriff's department. Deputy Mike Jackson then called Hester, who said she did not go to Weber's home, and doesn't know the other man."

The names were changed for this story because...well, it seemed like a good idea.
