If anyone ever wonders if they’ve moved to a small town, they have only to open to page three of the local Daily News and Planet and check out the police blotter. Here are some of my favorites from the last week:
Thursday
12:38 Two cups of yogurt were thrown at a patrol car from Gannon Hall.
3:58 A deputy responded to a malicious mischief report on Belsby Road. A lock was allegedly cut and cows were able to run free.
4:27 Benches were reported stolen on Elm Street.
5:20 A woman reported a group of teenagers ripped apart a teddy bear and left the stuffing lying around on East D Street.
Friday
11:54 Men seen urinating in public on Pintail Lane were counseled by police.
2:27 A man reported he was bitten on the thumb by a stray dog while walking his dog on East 7th Street. The injury was not severe.
7:02 A woman reported she drove by her residence and found all her belongings in the front yard next to a “free” sign.
Will the madness never end? Can our country be saved? Stay tuned.

Woah, you have to watch for that flying yogurt.
I visited a town in NE one time, and the lady we stayed with was worried because there was a strange dog in the neighborhood…

I love the one with the “free” sign by all her belongings. That really made me laugh long and hard.

The boys got in trouble once for being in the back of a pick up with another boy who through his finished lunch out and hit the school bus behind them on the road….What’s with taking it all out on teddy bears, anyway?!

Okay, keep it up! With police reports like that, you may force us to move up there. Those reports are almost as good as the man left stranded in Gallup with two all beef patties and special sauce on a sesame bun!! Unfortunately, that was our only police report that wasn’t grim, grim!!

One of my favorites was the woman who was standing on a street corner when someone forced her to take a pill!

And remember the one where a man was breaking into another man’s hotel room and the man in the hotel room started stabbing himself !
And how about when Radosavich was reported to have been stabbed by his wife. He said no, he was slicing a ham when someone came to the door. As he went to answer the door, he fell on his knife twice!
