Congratulations WeHo Sheriffs!

I have my issues with the West Hollywood Sheriffs, mainly because they seem to do nothing about my noisy neighbor downstairs. I used to think they have nothing better to do, but I may have to rethink that assertion. Yes, I may even owe them an apology.

Yesterday, I woke up once again in the middle of the night because of some noise. The details are hazy, because I didn't bother getting up out of bed (although if I thought they were famous, I would have dug up my video camera and sold it to TMZ), but it appeared like a couple of people chased down some guy who had been doing something or other in the neighborhood. I heard one of the chasers say "You are not getting away with it this time!" Then some silence, followed by a couple of police cars pulling up.

The person who has being chased, as well as one of the people doing the chasing, were thrown on the ground and placed in cuffs. This surprised the person who was chasing down the criminal and the chaser's friend said "he didn't do anything!". One of the cop says "He sucker-punched that other guy! I saw him myself." The person who they were all chasing was pretty silent.

Over the next few minutes, the police took statements, tried to get the sucker puncher to shut up. A few more cars showed up, and it looks like the perpetrator, who from what I heard had been pulling fire alarms at nearby businesses, will probably show up on the streets in a few more weeks in an orange jump suit collecting trash with Winona Ryder or Paris Hilton or whichever celebrity has been in trouble lately.

Anyway, here's to the WeHo sheriffs for getting their man.
