Land Of The Rising Idiots!

JANUARY 3, 2012
-A couple tidbits of information from New Year's Eve were released:
147 people were arrested for DUI in the "Avoid The 21" campaign throughout the Central Valley. Local police also responded to over 170 "shots fired" calls for IDIOTS shooting off their firearms. Remember...what goes up, must come down.

-Three individuals shoplifted from the Kohl's at the Sierra Vista Mall in Clovis. The initial report was that the two carjacked another person, and forced him to drive to some apartments in the area of Peach and Shaw. Turns out that the carjacking report was false, and the driver of the vehicle WAS the getaway driver for the shoplifters. All three have been arrested.

>>>I happen to live near the Kohl's at River Park...police are called out there for shoplifters at least 2-4 times per week. My acronym for K-O-H-L-S is "Kleptomaniacs On Hand Lifting (or Looting) Stuff."

JANUARY 4, 2012
-At about 1:40am, Fresno Police and Fresno Fire were dispatched to a residential building at Emerson and Charles (behind the Broadway Faire theater at Shaw & Valentine) for a car on top of a roof of an apartment, and the vehicle was smoking (about to catch on fire). The driver of the vehicle leg-bailed wearing only boxer underwear, and was later found in the area of Shaw and Marks. Police deduce that the vehicle was speeding on the road, hit some rocks and a tree stump, and was launched onto the roof of the apartment. Police evacuated the apartment as a precaution, the occupant thought there was an earthquake.
