Yep. Cops Corner is back with a vengeance in the most recent edition of The Longboat Observer. A few favorites from the real life newsworthy stories of Longboat cops this week...
10:55 p.m. Disturbance.
A drunken man complained to the police that his tenants took his Border collie dog and wouldn't give it back. The tenants, who said their landlord had been bothering them, allowed police to look for the dog. After the dog could not be found, police told the landlord to go home and sleep it off.
Maybe someone told the dog to go sleep it off too?
11:11 p.m. Suspicious vehicle.
Police observed a white Chevrolet Corsica in the Longboat Key Center for the Arts parking lot and felt the car looked out of place.
Longboat Key? Chevrolet Corsica? If it's not a BMW, Mercedes, Volvo SUV or the like, shit yeah, it's out of place!
5:54 p.m. Suspicious person.
Police gave a man a ride to Sarasota after he was found staggering down the road because his friends drove off without him.
Of course! Get that boy off the island and back to the mainland, where drunks and homeless are treated with respect....er um, sort of.
...and my personal favorite (combined with I-certify-I'm-not-making-this-up):
2:19 p.m. Driving Under the Influence.
A man told police "it wasn't his day" after police caught him backing into another car at a beach acecss and discovered a cooler of half drunken beers that had vomit all over them because "the six German beers did not agree with the egg rolls" he had eaten.
