QUESTIONS ABOUT AN INCIDENT

Regarding the following article:  http://www.semissourian.com/article/20080906/NEWS01/709069996/-1/news01

Questions have been raised about why the Bloomfield Police was not mentioned in the paper.  The fact is that the Bloomfield Police Department was not involved in the investigation.  The Bloomfield Police Department did assist the Stoddard County Sheriff's Department with the arrests, at their request.  The total time of our department's involvement was less than 15 minutes.  As far as this not being in the paper, the Bloomfield Police Department's participation in this operation was minimal at best.  My thanks to the Stoddard County Sheriff's Office and the Drug Task Force for doing a job well done.
