The Power

First, I'd like to say sorry it's been so long since I wrote. I've been working a lot and just haven't found the time to sit and write. Second, a very funny thing happened yesterday, so here goes.

I'd like to start off by saying it was not me who immediately responded, but I'll tell it as if it were. We receive a call about traffic lights malfunctioning on a major intersection. Sure enough, upon arrival, we find that the lights are all completely off. Then, they come back on. Next we notice a guy on the corner in a certain pizza delivery outfit (blue and white, a major company), taking a picture of the said intersection with the lights on. This guy then goes over to a traffic box (what is used to control the lights in case of emergency or traffic problems and flips a switch turning all the intersection back off. The guy then goes to the corner and takes another picture with his phone. Upon approaching said individual, we find several open containers of alcohol (some empty). After taking the guy into custody and the back of the cruiser his statement is this: You know how when you're growing up you always want the power. Well, I finally got it, so I had to use it! The guy was then arrested and charged with a felony for tampering with the lights and charged with having open containers of alcohol. I then got the pleasure of delivering the news to his boss (He was supposed to be working at the time, holding an advertisement at the intersection for his pizza place). I don't think he has a job anymore. His boss was shocked to say the least. The guy then wrote a nice one page statement about what he had done that couldn't have been better if I made it up myself. He was then transported to the county justice center, all the while still in his pizza delivery outfit. I say good luck to him when he gets there and is locked up with 20 thugs in a small room.
