Police blotter blast . . .

Submitted by Deborah Lavery PowersPolice Station Sign

The following are highlights from some of the recent narrative reports on file at the Fernandina Police Department:

 0-4-5-7 In the Morning first asked the clerk at the all-night convenience store if he needed to be 21 to buy Four Loko’s, and when the the clerk said, “Yes,” 0-4-5-7’s reply  was purported to be, “That really sucks, how about if I just steal them?”  And steal them he did!  Just walked out the door with  2 cans in hand.  He hadn’t been located at the time the narrative report was written.

                                                  ———-

The Other Side of the Story says he hasn’t registered as a Sex Offender in any of the many locations he has lived  during the last 28 years because (a) he felt he was framed by an over-zealous officer in a New England town where he was arrested, (b) he was targeted because he was the town nuisance those many years ago, and (c ) he had once battered a police officer.  He further claimed (d) he had not violently raped the 1983 victim — and (e) that he had moved on with his life after being released from jail in 1989.   Our local Police report (a) The Other Side of the Story was arrested for Domestic Battery (girlfriend) in July 2013, and (b) that someone (not the girlfriend) reported Other’s Fernandina address to Police in the New England town where he was arrested; then (c) New England called Fernandina Beach.  Our officers at first (d)  went to the address where Other Side was reported to be living.  The house was empty.    However,  (e) Other was soon located.  In the Nassau County Detention Center.

What Are You Doing? was just sitting there — at the back of a local restaurant.  The only problem with this visual is that she shouldn’t have been where she was.  She had been issued a No Trespass warning at the restaurant.  When officers asked what was going on,  What Are you Doing?  replied that she wanted “to speak to the owner(s) of the restaurant and have the trespass warning removed.”  She was transported away by Police before that opportunity was given to her.

                                                  ———-

Likin’ His Tramadol had a fraudulent  prescription for that particular pain medicine filled on May 9th — then another on June 25th.  If one were to assume that Likin’ used all of the first bottle of pills before he ordered (fraudulently, remember!) the June refill, then he was taking some 6 or 7  50 mg. tablets per day on a regular basis.  Hmmmm.  The case is still open — but Likin’ ain’t about to get any additional prescriptions filled the way he fraudulently managed to do in May and June.

                                                  ———-

Placed Under Arrest discovered that driving a white car bearing tags which belonged on somebody else’s red truck had the potential of creating a pretty dismal evening for him.  Placed was found to have “borrowed” the tag without permission and to be driving on a suspended license.    To add to his troubles, his vehicle wasn’t registered.  Police also discovered some of that  “leafy green substance” under the driver’s seat of his car.

                                                  ———-

This Is Odd thought it was indeed strange to receive an email from an internet department store confirming the purchase of a E-Gift Card with her Visa credit card — especially since she  doesn’t even have a Visa account.  All is well, though.  None of her real accounts had been compromised.

                                                  ———-

Haven’t Smoked Weed for Years certainly was surprised when an officer — who he thought was back in the cruiser checking out his license information — caught him trying to conceal a plastic baggie of the green leafy stuff in the center console.  And no, the officer didn’t say, “Gotcha.”

                                                  ———-

The Twelve of Us all had articles stolen from their unlocked cars on the same evening, in the same neighborhood,  Hmmmm.  Wondering.  Should it be noted that nothing was stolen from any of the locked cars in that same neighborhood on that same night?

These Police Blotter Blasts show the Observer thinks crime is a big joke. It is a shame and reduces the credibility of everything else you publish.

Mental illness, drug addiction, spousal abuse and sex offenses are not laughing matters. This column is disturbing and inappropriate.
