police blotter

Some of you are familiar with the Atherton police blotter--not online in concentrated form, but the Mercury News occasionally graces us with excerpts like "CITIZEN ASSIST About 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, a person on the 200 block of Park Lane requested assistance to close a door."

Now, via This Modern World, behold the Arcata police blotter:

10:51 p.m. In an incident cloaked in ambivalence, a person either suffering with or enjoying a state of "elevated behavior" was reported either screaming or yelling.

8:19 p.m. Someone's Great American RV vacation involved a prolonged stay parked along pristine, scenic and serene Tavern Row.

Friday, March 28 1:03 a.m. An anti-war vandal defaced various downtown businesses. No immediate comment from the White House.
