Small Town's Police Blotter Is A Riot
In one Alaskan fishing village, crime is a laughing matter. It's not the crimes that have residents chuckling so much as how they're written about. The Unalaska crime report is full of eagle aggression and intimate encounters gone awry in the Aleutian Islands.
When Sgt. Jennifer Shockley heads out on patrol each day, she's got the police blotter on her mind. Her goal is to paint a detailed picture of the town's often ridiculous crimes.
Sgt. Shockley, Dutch Harbor Police Dept.
"I can only imagine that someone who's never been here would think that this is some kind of Twilight Zone town where every form of human oddity and absurdity exists all at once — exacerbated by alcohol," she says.
Twilight Zone is an understatement.
Go here for the rest of the story, including some classic Blotter reports. And a big "thank you" to SR for sending it to me.

I'll wait for your take on em :-)
I do try to screen out the missing dog & cat stories, and just go for the funny or amazing tales. :)
I always picture that place as being kind of like the old Muppet Show, only with alcohol and poor hygiene.
I wish the Sgt. was hotter.
ML, you may not far from the truth.
Preppy, I'm sure she has a jacket in her cruiser, so no worries! ;^)
And here in NY we await them eagerly.
And I appreciate that, threecollie - thanks!
