Off Duty Officer fires gun inside school

[marble falls]

24. Gets better....

He ran for Sheriff a couple of years later.

We had three cops in our town. The chief and two part timers. The chief tried to look like Rod Stieger. The other two kinda dressed like security cops with ball caps. I called them the minimum wage cops though they made $10.hr.

One night one cop was practicing his tailing skills going around a corner rear ended a car. Liquor was involved and the city paid for it and he cooled the drinking for couple of months.

A police chief from Lyons shot his girlfriend and ended up on Most Wanted.

The high school mascot was the PenDragon, which had painted a flame belching big red dragon on an intersection downtown. One night a patron at the tavern on that corner was caught peeing on the dragon.

"What are you doing?" asked the cop.
"Can't you see? " replied the drunk, "I'm putting out a fire."

That story gets better, too. There was no law he could be charged with regarding peeing, and the cop didn't charge public intox, the guy got cut loose the next morning.

There's more. The town spent a couple of grand getting a law against public urination in the books. In the hundred and thirty years the town had been there one one had been anyone arrested for it but now they got a law.
