Busy night for the SSPD

If you read tomorrow's police blotter, you'll notice several drug related arrests. This may not be unusual for a Saturday night here in the Spa city, but I think the way in which some of these people get caught is somewhat amusing.

For instance, in one of the arrests, a police officer (I don't know if he was in plainclothes or uniform), was walking down a street. Suddenly, another person on the sidewalk tries to nonchalantly throw a small white baggie into some bushes. Hmm... If he'd only managed to keep his nerve. Too bad, look's like he's getting a felony drug rap now... Obviously not all drug arrests are that easy, but it's all in a days work for law enforcement.

All in all, SSPD made eight arrests between 3:30 p.m. Saturday and 3:30 p.m. Sunday, with the vast majority occuring between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.

The most interesting of these has to be the man who was arrested for peeing on a parked police car. Now come on, that's just asking for trouble.
