Forest Grove Police Log excerpt, 16 May 2018

This week we have two selections from the log of local police activity. Both are about women making poor decisions. But you're encouraged to read the full log, because there's more there than I can include here that is worth reading.

May 8* Officers contacted a woman seen face down in the grass along Pacific Avenue. The woman was simply napping. Officers told her this was perhaps not the best location for a snooze.

In case you don't know, Pacific Avenue is the main drag through town. It is a fairly busy road for our small town. It is not surprising that the police would be notified of a woman in this position here. I don't know what would lead to an individual deciding to attempt to sleep here though. I'd never be able to manage it myself.

May 10* Officers contacted two women seen screaming at each other and banging their heads on their vehicle. The women said it was an argument over money and food stamps and one was banging her head on the car out of frustration. They were advised to quiet down and not to smash their heads into solid objects. 

Even more confusing than sleeping along busy road is striking your own head against solid objects. It brings to mind Seinfeld's bit on the invention of helmets. Seriously, if you have to be told that smashing your head against solid objects is inadvisable, you may not be prepared for unsupervised activity.

I encourage you to check out previous selections by following the link to last week's entry in this feature.
