Our local newspaper prints a Crime Report in each edition that consists not only of arrests and court appearances, but also police calls. Oh, how I love the redneck police calls, so trashy and delicious. The Crime Report is my favorite part of the paper, right up there with the baby names (Des'Tinee RaeAwnah, born to Phil and Lisa Brown) and marriage licenses (Bobby Wayne Jarvis, 38 and Loretta Jane Fink, 16 - that's legal as long as she's pregnant).
Enjoy these selections from last Friday and wonder along with me why COPS hasn't filmed here yet:
9: 57 a. m. A man at Auto Connections of NWA, 1805 S. Pleasant St., reported a large freezer, buckets of paint and other items placed in front of the business door so he couldn’t get in this morning.
10: 28 a. m. A man with the power company at 100 W. Oaklawn reported an elderly man threatened to get his Smith and Wesson if they trimmed a tree.
4: 18 p. m. A man on Henryetta Street. reported his wife’s vehicle window broken out sometime after he had to pepper-spray a Chihuahua that was trying to bite him.
11: 38 p. m. A caller at 2608 Stagecoach Drive reported a man pushed another man off the porch.
This being Arkansas, it is perfectly safe to assume that at least three of these four calls were made by or about men who were not wearing shirts.

I grew up in a small, rural town in central IL and can relate. Even though we've all moved away, my friends and I still forward the local newspaper's birth and arrest notices to each other. Loved this post!
