I know the little punk on Cuneo Ct. He was warned that could happen. There is a kingpin in that case and HE really needs to be busted. Police need to investigate the owner of the house. He is the one who set up his ex-wife's cousin to take the fall. He doesn't care. He has other grow houses and has never held a REAL job in his life. He and his new bro in law are the real criminals in this fiasco.

2:59 p.m.: A caller reported a woman taking off her clothing near Chase Bank at 11th Street and Tracy Boulevard. She was gone before police arrived.

However investigators did speak with a loan officer, who declined comment, and seemed to be preoccupied with shredding a document titled: 'Items listed as collateral'.

Sorry for going off topic on the police log but since it’s slow I have sad news to report. Men I hope you’re sitting down before you read this because this will hit you hard, but Eugene J Polley, the man who invented the television remote control in 1955 died yesterday at the age of 96. He was truly a great America.

Those of you old enough will remember when we would change the channel we would flip the dial like a machine gun and eventually break the turn dial to where we had to use a pair of pliers to turn the knob to change channels.

They say the mortician lost the body...but then found it later between the seat cushions. Now let’s all bow our heads in mute.
