Excerpts from the Crime Blotter of Summit County (4/25/06)

(these are shamelessly filched from the Summit Daily News, link below) I suppose being a cub reporter on a small town newspaper must require some creativity, to wit:

Poached pants
A sheriff’s deputy was called to a condo clubhouse in Dillon Valley to speak to a woman who was missing a pair of pants from the dryer.

The woman said she’d been doing her laundry and discovered a pair of her boyfriend’s pants didn’t come of the dryer with the rest of the clothes.

She viewed the clubhouses surveillance tapes and saw a man take said pants, but she didn’t know who he was. However, she did know where the alleged thief lived. She led the deputy to the suspect’s apartment and he handed over the trousers he had taken from the laundry room. The man explained that he thought the pants were his, but couldn’t provide the brand of the pants. The deputy cited him for theft.
Ready for the consequence
A sheriff’s deputy driving on Highway 6 recently witnessed a vehicle make a turn without signaling, so he pulled over the driver, who had slurred speech, watery eyes and had great difficulty locating his vehicle registration and insurance card.
When asked, the driver said he’d had four beers, and agreed to a sobriety test.
He failed.

While en route to the jail, the man admitted, “I deserve this. I’m not drunk now, but I’ve driven drunk so many times, I deserve this.”

He also requested to be booked into a cell with the biggest man “named Bubba in the jail.”

No word on whether his wish was granted.
