Still Good to be a Cop in Auburn Indiana


I wrote about the double standard in my little slice of heaven before, here is more of it.
A police officer was charged with keeping and then selling a truck and a camper donated to the city by Homeland Security. He was charged with felonies and posted bond on the spot.
Fast forward a few years and the prosecuting attorney's office reduced the charges to misdemeanors.  What do you know? The statute of limitations ran out and nothing happened to the cop.  Lucky.
Meanwhile, my store was robbed last year by ZaneWood. I know it was him because of the two eyewitnesses who described him. The boys in blue have his fingerprints from inside my register. They can't find him.
I did a complex computer search called Google and found Mr.Wood. He's in the jail on unrelated charges.
I called the officer who took the fingerprints. He passed it off to the detectives.
I have called every week leaving messages, still no call returned. But I'm hopeful. So if you're the tool who left the horrifically misspelled screed in my comments section defending the town, think about it, you'll thank me later.
