Weatherford Democrat - Crime Report

My sister lives in Weatherford. I used to work in Weatherford. I had a real nice office on the third floor of the newly-renovated Parker County Courthouse. I had an awesome view straight down South Main.

Before I get all misty-eyed, let me get back to what I was talking about. Ever since my sister and her family moved to Weatherford, I've always found it enjoyable to pick up the local newspaper (The Weatherford Democrat) and read through the crime reports. Some of them are rather humorous. I always rib my brother-in-law, a native Weatherfordite, about some of the "heinous crimes" that are committed in Parker County.

Here's just a sample:

Aug. 28

At the 200 block of College Park Drive, a complainant advised that between Aug. 9 and Aug. 27, a known person who had been staying with them stole their debit card and used it to make several charges including bailing himself out of jail. At this time, no arrests have been made and the case is under investigation.


Monday, Aug. 6
