Criminals are scum

I went into work for a tiny bit. I was ready to head to Colfax and do some work at the jail. Terry told us to take off early. So I did so.

I went to Colfax. I made pretty good time. I changed into my jail uniform. I did not get dinner because they ran out of food. So the officers ordered a pizza.

I helped to book one person before we ate. Then Pullman was going to bring in a guy who was being charged with rape. I was talking to Art until the PPD arrived. The guy gets out of the car. He is a young thug. He was a little bit argumentative at first. I told him to put his hands on the counter. He did at first, then he took them off. I told him to put them back and he started to argue with me. Then he did it. I patted him down. He was wearing some PPD coveralls.

His clothing was taken because of the investigation so he was naked under the coveralls. So I was not too worried about weapons, but you should make no assumptions. So I patted him down. He said "I have already been patted down three times." I said well then this will make four. I started to book him and he was easier to book from that point on.

He was accuse of breaking into someone's house and forcing his hand down her pants and up her shirt. He was scared off before he got too far.

After him the rest of the night was pretty slow. I helped do some rounds and then at midnight I was going to leave. I was listening to the radio. A cop stopped someone for reckless driving. He asked for a case number for Reckless Driving and Indecent Exposure. Then a few minutes later he got on the radio and said to the dispatcher "tell your partner is was what she thought it was". A Colfax cop found a stolen car in town. He was dealing with that and he needed a photo line-up so I helped him use the program I made to create a line up. It worked well.

I went home and watched TV for a tiny bit before I went to bed. I have a big softball game in the morning.
