Just the tracks, ma'am.
In the same way that General Winter was Russia's best military man, cold places have a top cop named Detective Snow.
A woman who told Liberty Lake police last week that she was assaulted by a black man wearing gold chains and a hoodie is now facing a charge of making false police report. “It was completely made up,” said Sgt. Clint Gibson. The woman admitted to police this week that she made it up because she was worried about losing her job and wanted sympathy, said Gibson. Gibson, who took the initial report from the woman at her workplace in the 24000 block of East Mission on Jan. 29, said he was suspicious from the start. The woman claimed that she had been shoved to the ground by her assailant, but her clothes were clean and dry, Gibson said. The fresh snow also cast doubt on the woman’s story. “There were only her tracks that led from her vehicle,” he said. “We were not able to locate any specific area that could have been a crime scene.”Most of the time Detective Snow follows dumb burglars back to their apartments. In this case he was able to eliminate a crime by the lack of tracks. Seriously, this is excellent police work by the real cops. Especially good that they aren't afraid of the activists who always shout that every idiot tale told by a woman or child is automatically true. ¶ 3:52 PM
