This one is too good:
"Officer contacted a drunk staggering in the middle of the roadway and found that his nose had been relocated to the left side of his face."
Yup, looks familiar, though a little more creatively written than the ones I've seen.
"One [fish, I'm guessing] processor conceded the sudsy bucket after his supervisor bade him yield."
Bade him yield?
I see someone in yellow coveralls shouting, "Yield, thou varlet!"
This is priceless. I may have to bookmark it.

I've come to look forward to the police blotter section of the Rio Grande Sun each week:

Many of the tales are amusing.

Here we see what happens when people make their own fun :)
Having spent near a year on the Dutch Harbor side of the island you need to make your own fun or be bored unto tears. Having said that I look back very fondly on my time processing and hunting King Crab in the middle of nowhere.
The best part of the Anchorage Daily Worker is the Unalaska Police reports.
WV: minest - the second favorite word of Elizabethan three year olds.
I need to hire Sgt. Shockley to my own Dept. I like the writing style. At last another officer to commiserate with over the lack of writing skills on the part of the officers that I supervise.
Every time I read a report wherein every person involved either "advises" or "states" and never "tells" or "says" and the reporting officer is unable to use first person, as in "I" but instead uses the third person "this officer" to narrate I wear out another red pen.
Whoo boy I miss Dutch Harbor/ Unalaska! Spent one winter working out of Dutch - saw more brawls and drunks than the entire rest of my life combined. (And no, I was not involved in any of the brawls.)

Española, N.M., has a weirdness all its own, I know.
But the Unalaskan writing wins.
