Faremount Po-po's in Dramatic Stand-Off
Faremount. The city's finest brandished their big guns and put on their best tough-guy look as the Centenial newspaper photographer Flip Fearsen clicked away.
Just outside the home of one Larry Berg, Faremount police officers swarmed over the yard waiting for suspect of a robbery to come out. Dressed in street clothes and their kevlar vests, some in camoflage riot gear, and others in their regular uniform, they had a stand off for over 1 hour.
Not all Faremount and Moon Valley officers were available. Faremount Officer Waller was at his moonlight job, trying desperately to take off a bolt on a Harley he's customizing. Moon Valley Deputy Chuck Longfuse was picking up the dangerous, Failure to Appear Bandit, on a warrant. And Faremount Sargeant Mack Humper was over at an ex-lovers house trying to get him some before he gets married this month.
Mr. Berg did finally give himself up. After doing so, took him out back and gave him some "education" on surrendering etiquette.
Faremount Police cheif began to speak when Sheriff Vlad Gephardt pushed him aside stating, "This is a Moon Valley Sheriff's Office matter now. I'm in charge, I got Berg to give up. I was here first."
