News From The Outer Banks Sentinel.

I love reading the police reports

printed in the local newspapers.

There's usually someone I know being arrested

and some of the reports make one want to scratch one's head.

From today's Sentinal:

A Kill Devil Hills man was charged with impeding traffic by standing on the highway on July 9.

Yes.

I knew all about this one.

From his being drunk on a bike in Colington at 4 in the morning,

to running the bike into a ditch,

to his calling his mother to pick him up.

Then his mother took him to the Outer Banks Hospital

and left him because she didn't want to deal

and he got mad and left, 

since he wasn't hurt and didn't need to go to the hospital,

and started hitchhiking his way home.

Only he didn't make it,

was picked up by the officer,

who may well have saved his life,

and got to spend the night in the Manteo Hilton

aka Dare County Detention Center.

And this one made me sorta scratch my head

and wonder about the circumstances:

Investigation and arrest reports from the Kill Devil Hills Police Department include a report of second degree sexual offense, first degree burglary, and felony larceny after a 20 year old Maryland man reported that oral sex was performed on him while he slept at a rental house on Virginia Dare Trail.
