Jordan's Police Blotter game

[Jordan]

The rules are simple:

I'm going to give you a series of entries from recent police blotters. The entries will be taken from either The Phnom Penh Post or the Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow edition of Patch.com. For each entry, choose whether the incident took place in Cambodia or a suburban neighborhood in Westchester County, NY.

1) A man in **** has been accused of killing his uncle and sister with a sword after claiming to have been possessed by a spirit. Police said that the man, who is a committee member of a local pagoda, started shouting that he was acting out a role in a play. He allegedly grabbed a sword and attacked his uncle and sister, killing them both. Police arrested the man 30 minutes after the attack.

2) A caller reported finding a dead bat on the sidewalk near the Immaculate Conception Church. The **** Department of Health was contacted, but didn't pick up the phone, so officers placed the dead bat in a bag. The health department later called back and told police to put the dead bat in the garbage.

3) Two men described as “gangsters” were seriously injured following a swordfight at a dance party in **** Monday. Police said an indeterminate number of men got into an argument with each other while they were shaking loose on the dancefloor. They then fought each other with swords and rocks in a tussle that caused a great disturbance. Most of the “gangsters” managed to escape, but two seriously hurt combatants were sent to hospital. Villagers said such brawls happen frequently during dance parties. Police said they were trying to find the other brawlers so that they could “educate” them.

4) A woman called police to complain about noise on River St. The caller stated that a police officer was talking to an individual on the street who was likely drunk. The woman was told that no issues had been reported to the police department, at which point the woman began to yell and curse at the police dispatcher. The woman was told not to curse but she continued and claimed that her husband was a police officer in **** and that she didn't have to stop cursing. The dispatcher ended the call at that time. Officers went to the area to see if there was any noise occurring in the street, but all was quiet at the time. The woman called back complaining about the noise and began cursing again. A police sergeant contacted the woman at her residence at 1:15 a.m. where she apologised for cursing at the dispatcher. The sergeant told the woman to continue to make appropriate noise complaints to the department.

5) A caller on Crescent Drive reported that a raccoon was camped out on his porch and wouldn't leave. The animal apparently seemed sick or injured. Officers were also unable to get the raccoon to move from the porch. The **** Animal Control unit was unavailable. The homeowner had to call a wildlife removal expert.

6) A 44-year-old man suspected of destroying a farmer’s valuable crops told police that he became enraged after the farmer banned him from getting drunk in his field. **** police arrested the man Thursday, after he was blamed for the destruction of a field full of soy in the middle of the previous night. A total of 456 plants were said to be ruined. The suspect allegedly told investigating officers that he had asked several times for permission to get drunk in the field, but had been denied each time. The case has been sent to provincial court.

7) Police in **** district said a 25-year-old man stabbed his brother and then himself before setting fire to his house Tuesday. It is believed that the violence followed a heated argument, though the subject remains unknown. Police investigating the case said the younger brother stabbed his older brother first, and then decided to stab himself. He then set fire to his house. Alert neighbours heard the ruckus, however, and quickly called police in to help. The older brother has been sent to hospital. Family members said they did not want to bring the legal system into the fracas.

8) A Walgreens manager walked into police headquarters to report that one of his employees had been harassed the night before by another employee. The argument between the two workers, over work performance, continued into the next day with threatening phone calls and text messages. The manager wanted the incident noted for the record.

I check the Cambodian police blotter every now and then--it's a reliable source of some crazy shit.

I think the answers are pretty obvious , FoxyPV got 'em right and I agree with FYF that #6 is the funniest one of the bunch.

Makes me happy to live in a boring lil' place, but it would be greatly ironic if I were to be ... well, say, hacked to death with a scythe by a drunk man who did it to settle a bet. I think the next one will be mixing in a few fake stories with real ones and see if people can figure out which ones are which
