Here are a few snips from the small town we will be moving to as soon as we get out of this steaming swamp most call Houston, Texas.
POLICE BLOTTER
Fancy Footwork
A bystander flagged
down an officer just
before 2 p.m. on July 1
because of a small fire
burning on the playground
outside the
Boys & Girls Club Laguna
Madre. The officer
stomped out the small
blaze with her feet before
calling for the City
fire marshal. The fire
marshal arrived soon
thereafter and snuffed
out the hot spot with a
fire extinguisher.
Righty Tighty
An officer stopped
to help a motorist who
needed assistance with
his car. The officer determined
that the battery
posts were loose
and quickly remedied
the problem, allowing
the motorist to continue
home.
False Alarm
An officer patrolling
near the Laguna Madre
Water District facilities
off of Woody Lane
investigated the warehouses
after hearing an
audio alarm at about 5
p.m. July 1. All three
buildings were checked
and appeared secure.
Bridge With a View
On the morning of
July 1, an anonymous
caller alerted Port Isabel
police to the presence
of a chair on the
Queen Isabella Memorial
Causeway. An officer
responded to the scene
and found four stackable
patio chairs on the
eastbound outside lane.
The officer removed the
chairs and logged them
into safekeeping at the
police station.
Growing Old Not So
Gracefully
A man was given a
citation for shoplifting
after being detained by
loss prevention officers
at HEB on the afternoon
of July 1. Store
officials stated the man
walked out of the store
without paying for an
“Olay night firming
crème worth $19.54.”
The beauty product was
returned to the store.
Bad day for grocery
shopping
Also at HEB, a woman
reported leaving her
purse in a shopping cart
just before 5 p.m. on
July 1. An officer gathered
information for a
report on the incident
before resuming patrol.
Damn, that place is crime-ridden, isn't it?
