Small-town newspaper police blotter sections are always good fun.
From the Homer, AK paper:



I worked for my college newspaper (and still get a free subscription because I was editor-in-chief), and the Security Briefs are always a highlight, although never that detailed. This year they've had three cases of somebody watching porn in the student center--on weeknights, when people are usually there studying or doing work. The first one was specified as "anime porn (hentai)."

There's a long history of student harassment from townies driving on the main drag through campus, usually calling people human being or throwing stuff at students.. My favorite of all-time was "Suspect threw lollipop at victim from passing car; reported 11 hours later."

The news last night had a story about two trick-or-treaters hit by a car. The video feed showed two huge boats that had crashed into a bridge. The newsreader was going through the story and says, barely pausing, "I think we have the wrong video".

Bear Attacks, Rapes Zookeeper
Here's a little dog-bites-man tale I couldn't resist! Except replace "dog" with "850-pound black bear"! And "bites" with "anally violate"!

Yes, last Saturday a zookeeper at the Metropolitan Zoo had "claws" for alarm when he was attacked and raped by the same black bear he had raised from a cub! Geez, talk about gratitude!
"It was horrible, just horrible, " sobbed an eyewitness. Guess she sure got an eyeful!

The bear, named "Barry", " attacked zookeeper Ron Gilks as Gilks entered the cage to give him dinner. Barry lunged at his throat, goring him with his huge claws and razor-sharp teeth. Some of the claw marks were three-quarters of an inch deep. Ouch!

Then, astonished onlookers could "bearly" believe what happened next--Barry began to brutally rape zookeeper Gilks!

Frantic zookeepers rushed for rifles as others tried to divert the bear. But there was no stopping Barry! This bear kept "bearing down, " and Gilks just had to grin and "bear" it! Maybe Barry was mistaking him for his "honey"!

Barry's 27-inch phallus, armed with guard hairs as sharp as red-hot needles, shot through Gilks' rectum, shattered his lower spine and skewered his colon, causing his entire lower torso to "cave" in! Yikes! Bet that wasn't the type of "cave" you had in mind when you took up zookeeping, Mr. Gilks!

And can you imagine Gilks' surprise when Barry's putrid ursine semen flooded his ruptured chest cavity? (By the way, Mr. Gilks, whatever cologne you've been wearing, where can the public get some?)

Finally, zookeeper Eric Pulliam shot Barry with a tranquilizer gun and pulled Gilks from the cage. The unconscious bear was later destroyed. Hey, this "Yogi" made a major "Boo-Boo"!

"I have worked with dangerous animals before, " zoo director Kate Donegal said. "But never have I seen any animal sexually assault a human being." "Barry"? Try "Scary"!

Meanwhile, Gilks was pronounced dead at an area hospital--but at least he died grinning and bearing it! No doubt, this episode gives new meaning to the term, "Do not feed the bears!"

Started typing investigated, made some sort of typo that led to backspacing up to "investi," phone thought a new word was starting and corrected "gated" to "farted" after hitting a couple of wrong buttons. That's my guess.

Oh man, I got to copy-edit an amazing police blotter from the west suburbs of Chicago this week. All of these were real reports from the same town:

quote:

-A man told a preschool teacher he wanted to eat the children at Grace Lutheran Church, 200 N. Catherine Ave., it was reported at 7:26 a.m. Nov. 10. Police weren’t able to locate the man.
-A man screaming for several hours was reported at 8:31 p.m. Nov. 8 in an apartment on the 300 block of South 6th Avenue. Police determined the man had stubbed his toe.
-An 8-year-old boy was reported missing at 3:19 p.m. Nov. 7 from his home on the 200 block of South Ashland Avenue. Police located the child inside the home.
-Police were requested at 4:34 p.m. Nov. 7 to calm parents arguing over a play at an athletic field at Cossitt and Gilbert avenues. The parents complied.
-A man wearing a black ski mask chased a woman taking out the garbage, it was reported at 8:33 p.m. Nov. 6 at apartments on the 200 block of East Plainfield Road. Police weren’t able to locate the man.
