    Yeah, something’s not right. Usually you can’t get cops to even take a report for ‘minor’ property crimes, and these guys just go busting doors with guns blazing?

      The weedeater belonged to a local judge. Cops will go above and beyond for their pals who take them at their word on the witness stand.

        Turns out it belonged to a county official. Go figure.

        David Westerfield. The Laurel County Judge Executive.

        If I had to guess, either someone on the force didn’t like this guy.

        Either that, or someone really cozy with the cops was mad about their weedeater being stolen.

        It’s crazy to me that one of my neighbors could be doing something shady and it gets me killed. As often as my packages get delivered at the wrong place, it’s scary to think about.
