From "Law roundup: Sandwich artist can’t handle critique" (Daily Inter Lake).
Also that same day: "A woman allegedly went outside to 'smoke her bud' and saw a small white pill. She told officers she believed two men put her prescription pills in the pipe while she wasn’t in their apartment. She was advised to stop spending time with them if she was concerned about their behavior."

A woman went outside shoot her boyfriend and saw a small white pill.
In positive retail sector news, former Washington Post journalist Felicia Sonmez now works at The Gap.
"Now, I been in jail when all my mail showed
That a man can’t give his address out to bad company"
A charming report of innocuous police life, except for that bald, bearded man on a bicycle. I'd watch out for that one.
A neighborhood busybody alleged that people were “dropping trees in a dangerous way,” saying they weren’t using guide wires or safety harnesses. An officer responded and found the people had the equipment onsite.
"Onsite" isn't the same as "witnessed the equipment being used". She's only a busybody because she's doing OSHA's job for free.
Lookin' back on the track for a little white pill,
Got to find just the kind for losin' my mind
I have lost count of the number of times I had a run-in with a drunken sandwich artist.
She was advised to stop spending time with them if she was concerned about their behavior."
more sensible advise, has NEVER been issued!
i LOVE the society pages! Of everything in a newspaper; They are the ones in enjoy reading.
I have my subscription my local paper for that reason (well, that and the Blondie Comic.. That Dagwood sure Loves his sandwiches!)
Reminds me of an episode at a bagel shop. As I was paying for my breakfast sandwich I could see that the “sandwich artist” was making the wrong sandwich. I let the cashier, who was also the manager, know the other worker was making the wrong sandwich to which she replied “Not my problem.” I asked her what she was talking about and said “You’re the manager. Everything is your problem. Tell her to make the sandwich” at which point the manager started to cry! At that point the bagel maker who looked like he was recently paroled threatens to kick my ass, to which I replied “If you do, you’re going back to prison, this bagel shop will be out of business and I’ll be able to retire on my lawsuit winnings.” That made him reconsider. I know I could not have retired from the settlement or lawsuit money, but that idiot didn’t know it.
I got the sandwich I ordered and never went back to that shop.

LOL! As i was having our new washer/dryer delivered our local , "helpful neighbor lady". took time off from her lumbering walk through the neighborhood to instruct the gentleman who was delivering it on how to exactly offload and install said washer/dryer. After she lumbered off we had a good laugh and I tipped him twenty bucks.
So I read the first part of the post.
What?
Then I read the second part.
What?
Then I read the comments.
What? ... What? ... Yeah, right! ... What?
So much what today.
Now, I've typed the word "what" so many times that it no longer looks like a real word -- how can a real word start with "wh"?
The small town newspaper police blotter is often the best part.
Just because you were drunk doesn't mean you were wrong to want to teach some asshole customer some manners.
Iman, love the George Baker Selection reference. I was a sophomore in HS in 1970.
Ok. I'm staying home today.
Back in the '70s, when I worked in a sandwich shop, we always had a Stroh's Bomber (half quart) sitting on the counter for refreshment, but we always took pride in producing a quality sub. Kids today.
The most notable thing about that article is how poorly written it is. Who chased the customer? The juicer sandwich artist or the person that remade the sandwich? The van wanted “offices” to issue a citation? In Cars, maybe. The woman saw a white pill where?
Sure, it probably fell to some intern to write the article, but I wouldn’t have gotten away with that shit in eighth grade.
It's been my observation of late that losing thy mind is not just for thee insane any more.
A veritable "Wipeeble" crime wave.
I'll have the turkey on sourdough with everything, but hold the meth...
Ann - that's our hometown newspaper! We love the section on "Law Roundup" as it gives us a glimpse into elements/events of our small community (it's a big valley but only about 50k people) that we don't see day to day. Best thing about life here compared to what we left behind in SoCal? No police/sheriff helicopters at all times of the day and night. When we hear a helicopter here we know that it's either a Two Bear Air rescue flight or an A.L.E.R.T. medical flight.

I'd assmue you'd have to blame the police officers.. I guarantee you it's just cut and pasted off the police blotter. The paper is sent an email (or, just goes to the sheriff's webpage, and THAT is this article.
Like THIS On January 10, 2023, at approximately 4:31 AM, it was reported that Jeannie Marie Murphy, age 48 of Cedar Rapids, had committed an assault on a Correctional Officer that caused serious injuries. Murphy was being moved from one cell to another after damaging a sprinkler in her jail cell when she attacked the correctional officer striking them several times. Murphy was charged with Attempted Murder (Felony B), Assault on Persons in Certain Occupation use/display of a Dangerous Weapon (D Felony), and Criminal Mischief 5th Degree (Simple Misdemeanor).
BTW, it frequently happens; that guests of the Fayette County Jail do things, that cause them to be arrested and sent.. To the Fayette County Jail. I Love My County!
"She was advised to stop spending time with them if she was concerned about their behavior."
Good advice! I'm not sure why her mom didn't tell her that. Probably she didn't listen. She won't listen to her friendly neighborhood police officer, either.
"She was advised to stop spending time with them if she was concerned about their behavior."
How the Behavior Police will police. They won't mess with criminal behavior; they'll suggest the victim leave the bad neighbors and, maybe, leave the neighborhood, as is happening in NYC. It could work.
In a Day (2006) is a pleasant movie about a sandwich maker and her suitor. She's asked to remake a sandwich, too. Lorainne Pilkington.
Ampersand,

Amen to that! One of the cool things about playing the Carmel [CA] Bach Festival was reading the Carmel Pine Cone's police blotter. One year the Festival Choir took some of the prize items and set them to an Anglican fauxbordon formula -- basically a simple trope that has a way to start a phrase and to end it, while everything in between is on a single chord. One of them was a report of three poodles walking down one of the main drags. The ending of the fauxbordon set "Unable to locate."
And I a senior, Wilbur.

Thank you for using my preferred (2nd person) pronouns.
