Church cooking

In Macon, Georgia a couple of parishioners noticed an open door to their church. When the peeked inside they saw some things were amiss, shut the door and called 911. When the authorities arrived they discovered a woman had removed some ground beef, onions and some other ingredients from the church provisions and had started cooking some mashed potatoes in a Crock Pot. I'm not sure what recipe she was following but she also tried to escape from the church, but a barred window prevented her escape. Full story from The Macon Telegraph.

In my city, he probably would have been shot

In South Brunswick, New Jersey a man allegedly on PCP was arrested for destroying his home. When the police came, he threw a microwave and Crock Pot at them.

A 21 year old South Carolina man was mad. Really mad. Throwing things, yelling, threatening people. The police were called and calmed the man down, but a few hours later he threw a Crock Pot at a dude's leg. Then he went outside and tried to set the house on fire.

San Mateo Sadness

No word on if the Crock Pot had food in it when it was stolen. This is why we need local new reporting, kids. The important information needs to be found out. "That’s a crock A slow cooker was stolen on Broadway in Redwood City, it was reported at 3:50 p.m. Saturday, June 9." That's the whole story, direct from the blotter with a cheeky headline. I think the copy writer needed to dig a little deeper to get to the meat of the story, but I'm just some guy typing in a room. Link to the Daily Journal
