Thursday, April 19 2007: Breaking the Phone
I'm on the County's message alert mailing list thingy so that I can keep abreast of road and school closures. I also receive the crime alerts, too because I shamelessly delight in reading about the depraved activities of my fellow citizen's from time to time. The following paragraph is from a recent alert:
Gomez was located by Erehwon Sheriff's Deputies hiding in a shed outside the residence. He was charged with abduction, sexual assault, assault, and damaging a telephone to prevent summoning of law enforcement. He is being held without bond at the Erehwon Adult Detention Center.
Is that really a crime?
