Bad Boys Of Winfield

June 13, 2011

On Friday a reader of this blog suggested in the comments that “These are good posts, but what would be more fun and interesting would be local events and the goofy police reports”. While I believe that I already post items about local events, it would be hard to post “the goofy police reports” because the Glimpses simply didn’t offer them. I think the reader is referring to the paper that the Glimpses morphed into…”The Winfield Examiner”. That’s when a police blotter was added to every edition. I’m going to stick to Glimpses articles (leaving an Examiner blog for someone else to start), but in an effort to please every reader, I found this “Letter to the Editor” in the April 23rd, 1975 Glimpses that may qualify offhandedly as a sort of “goofy police report”.
