Uncle Sam-antha shocked
The following “exposure” report was filed on July 3. The name of the victim and the location of the incident were blacked out on the police report. All you could see was that the victim was a white female.
“Victim was standing in front of business dressed as Uncle Sam for promotion. Suspect stopped in roadway next to victim and was masturbating in his vehicle. Suspect then left the area.”
Guess he got his little explosion a day early.
A hard night’s sleep
The Black Walnut Bed and Breakfast in Montford filed this report under “defrauding an innkeeper:”
A Huntsville, Ala., woman reserved a room for two nights, stayed one night then “told the innkeeper that she had back pain and wanted to leave. Suspect refused to pay (sign credit card receipt) and left, even though innkeeper offered to lower rate.”
Damages were listed at $455. Shit, I’d be reporting a hijacked wallet.
