We live in a fairly small town, and have our own small town paper - The South Lyon Herald. The main reason we subscribe is for the Police Blotter. Each week, we get to see who had what run-in with the police. This recent one was a personal favorite. Basically, a guy riding a bike flipped off an old guy who almost hit him. The old guy threw the car into reverse and ran the guy on the bike over:
A 42-year-old South Lyon man said he was riding his bike when the driver of a car drove close to him and honked his horn. The cyclist waved his hand in anger at the driver, setting off a verbal argument. The driver then backed the vehicle up and struck him with teh car, knocking him off of his bike and onto the ground. he suffered minor injuries to his leg. Several witnesses at the scene gave similar accounts of the incident, deputies said, and one followed the driver as he fled the scene, noting his license plate number.

Deputies tracked the suspect, a 65-year-old Northville man, and spoke with him at his home. The report said he admitted to being at the scene of the alleged assault, but refused to discuss the incident. He was arrested for suspected felonious assault and held in Oakland County jail.

My favorite from this past week was the story about the Green Oak Township police rescuing a women from an area lake - oh by the way, she was naked and claimed she was the President...

I saw that one... the "...and claimed she was the president" part was the icing on the cake.
