The blotter

By TED SULLIVAN ( Contact ) Tuesday, October 27, 2009 - 2:38 p.m.

Here are a few old reports that I never published:

The Grinch

A Footville teen was arrested on charges of theft and opening letters. The teen was accused of stealing two Christmas cards from a neighbor’s mailbox while out walking the family dog.

Just the gum, please

A theft was reported at Dunkin' Donuts on Milton Avenue. A gumball machine was stolen from the entrance. The machine was valued at $250.

Oops!

An Evansville man and his wife were burning grass for a garden. The wind shifted. Their garage started on fire. The fire department extinguished the blaze.

JohnDoe, I have dozens of reports I've collected in the last year or so. Depending on the volume, I might publish them right away or hold them for later. Lately, I haven't found any good "blotter" items. I thought I might as well publish some old reports that I've saved. -Ted Sullivan

I was relieved when I went back and read that these are old reports. I skipped that part over on first reading, and I was alarmed about the Christmas card report. It's way too early for that!
