It’s been an eventful five months since the first Creek Police beat column was posted in July on Walnut Creek Patch. We all know the Walnut Creek police have an important job to do, keeping the community safe. But, wow, do they get their share of interesting calls. Some people call the police about the most amazing, head-scratching things.
From unruly customers who bite their bartenders to kids making the best of their summer vacation. Thank you to everyone who reads each week. I wish you all a safe and happy 2011.
