Katrina: Scanner Traffic Plus, Please

Katrina: I sure wish there was a way to get a follow up on the police blotter section. Some of the stories leave me highly anxious, wanting to know what happened (like “1:11 p.m. R/P reports that a man in a blue pickup has taken a boy of about 8 who didn’t appear to want to go with him, from a local school.”) and some of them sound like they might make for good entertainment if I knew the whole story (like “10:37 a.m. A man on Windermere Avenue reports that his mother and his wife are threatening him.”) I bet those 911 operators get curious, too.

DFO: You’re not the first to raise this point, Katrina. Alas, I’m lucky to catch the snippets from the scanner while I’m blogging away here. Sometimes, I don’t have enough info to post an item that sounds interesting, like the woman who wanted to see police about a potato gun yesterday. I simply don’t have enough time to follow any of this up. Nor would the police have a report for a day or so. If at all. Feel free to imagine the rest of the story in the comments section.
