We haven't had a Super Terrific Happy Hour in a while, so today we'll contemplate the awesomeness of small town police blotters and how these two crimes could be connected so long as monkeys like beer.
First, from Waukesha, WI:
Theft victim says culprit accompanied by monkey
The victim of a theft said the thief had a black "chimp-looking" monkey with them.
According to a Franklin police report:
A saw was stolen from a parking lot in the 7200 block of South 27th Street prior to 7 p.m. Aug. 3.
The victim said the monkey was with the thief or thieves.
The victim was advised to call police if he sees the monkey again.
Give up your beer!
A word of warning -- give up your beer!
Annapolis police reported this morning:
Robbery – 700 block of Annapolis Neck Rd – 8/10 at 12:28am: A victim was attacked for refusing to give up his beer. After he refused, Gerald Jones, a 46 year old male from Annapolis repeatedly struck the victim in the head with a rock and stick and then fled the scene. Jones was quickly located by police. Gerald Jones is charged with Armed Robbery, 1st and 2nd Degree Assault, and Reckless Endangerment. He is currently being held at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center on $500,000.
Police, unfortunately, don't say what kind of beer was involved.

PS: I will be out of the office most of the day tomorrow, so I may be a bit light on the old awesomeness.
