I guess the bus driver was right...

Here's a little accident report from my paper's police blotter. This should tell you something about the level of intelligence around here:

XX XXX, 19, Medford, reportedly received serious head injuries in a mishap that occurred around 1 a.m., April 19, on CTH A in the town of Mayville. The police report states she was a passenger in a car driven by XX XXX, 18, Medford. She reportedly became ill and when she stuck her head out the passenger side window it was believed she struck a mail box with her head. The driver reported that she heard a “thump” when she fell back into the car. The driver said she took the passenger to a Medford hospital for treatment.

#1, Didn't the bus driver always tell you not to stick any arms, legs or heads out the window because you might hit something?

#2, Maybe they should have called an ambulance?

Here's another from the idiot files:
--April 4–An officer was dispatched to an Abbotsford business for a theft complaint. The manager advised a cashier took two phone calls from a person who claimed to be with Western Union. The first call was for a transaction to one person, and the second call was to a person with the same last name. The manager said each time there was no money taken into the cash register, which is not how it was supposed to be done. He said in a normal transaction a person comes to the store with the exact amount of money. The person claiming to be with Western Union told the cashier she could do the transactions, so she did. The caller then told her to tear up the paperwork, which she also did. Both transactions were to California. The manager spoke to the security division at Western Union who said there were no such transactions. The pieces of the paperwork for the transactions were retrieved from the trash can. The cashier agreed to come in for an interview at a later time.

On a side note, the amount stolen was close to $5,000. Duh, "just send the money and dispose of the evidence."

I hope she got fired.
