Time to hit the treadmill
Our local paper has a pretty colorful police blotter, which probably says something about both the town and the paper. This recent incident is a real head-scratcher:
City and county law enforcement are looking for a Fergus Falls woman after she allegedly ran from a jail escort in the parking lot of Lake Region Hospital on Saturday. […] The county sheriff’s office reported that after the visit, she and her jail escort were walking back to the jail vehicle when she broke free and ran east on Alcott Avenue around the middle of the 3 p.m. hour. She was lost after a brief foot chase.
Wadell, a blond, was wearing a blue sweatshirt with “OTC” on the front in white letters when she fled. She was also wearing tan pants, along with sandals, and she was handcuffed.
How does one lose a footrace to a handcuffed person in sandals? Inquiring minds want to know.
Update: Well, that was short-lived.
