There has been a lot of questions, rumors, and concerns over a lady that walks our town at all hours of the day and night. She is usually seen carrying a stick or a pipe.
I have had people ask me a multitude of questions about her. I have only had two complaints about her and only on one of those complaints was I able to legally do anything. In that particular complaint she had shaken her stick at some people on school grounds. I had permission from a principal to ban her from school property. She was notified and to the best of our knowledge she has not set foot on school property since then. In that case no one wished to pursue charges against her.
Rumors like to spread in this town like wildfire. Just this Sunday morning a citizen called me at home and advised me that he had heard that she was struck by a car and killed the previous evening. I advised him there was no truth to this.
About an hour or so ago I received a call at home that Asst. Chief Malone was roadside with her and that she was carrying a revolver. I responded to the scene. She was carrying on her hip a very old rusted up unloaded revolver. Asst. Chief Malone confiscated the revolver and charged her with peace disturbance. She was also ordered not to be carrying any sticks or any other weapons around town. If everybody else can walk through town without fear of being assaulted then so can she. If she is too afraid to walk through Bloomfield without a weapon of some sort then she might want to consider staying at home or walking with a friend.
If anybody has any questions or concerns about anything please feel free to call me.
