They Didn't Cover this at Police Academy

Pardon me while I regurgitate the news for you. Sometimes there are tidbits so fascinating that I just can't take the chance you might miss them. This for example:

WOMAN ARRESTED IN BLOWGUN SPREE

A 41-year-old woman is in jail after police say she went on a blowgun spree in downtown Stevens Point.

The Stevens Point Journal reports that police got a report at 9 p.m. Wednesday from a 25-year-old woman who said she was walking downtown when she felt something hit her chest. In the next half-hour, three more people made similar reports. None was seriously injured.

One of the victims reported she saw the dart shot from a pipe sticking out a window of a black minivan. Police pulled the vehicle over at 9:30 p.m. and found a blowgun, a slingshot and a bucket of rocks inside.

Police arrested the van's driver, Paula Wolf, and said she eventually admitted to shooting the pedestrians. She allegedly told an officer that she "liked to hear people say 'ouch.' " Wolf was charged with recklessly endangering safety.

Sounds like the suspect went quietly, but they should put this guy's number on speed dial just in case future sprees get out of hand.

A "crime" story truly worthy of Jay Leno coverage! Too bad it happened in Wisco. Suppose we'll now be tagged as blowgun loonies as well as cheeseheads? P.S. I laughed so hard when I read this tidbit in the paper last week.
