Lost Bird Tests Moon Valley Security
Faremount. This reporter tested the new security measures at the Moon Valley Security building and the court house instituted by the valiant Sheriff Gephardt and Jail Administrator Sparky Gerdles, and a whole lotta input from Tonya Skowl.
It all started when this reporter decided to not pay on an NSF check. Court date was set for March 8th. When attending court appearance, (the other party not showing up for court), I walked into the courthouse, up the stairs to court administration, signed in and attended court. No security check, no anything.
There was another court appearance that I did not know about, (hence Failure to Appear Warrant), as I paid the other party what was owed to them but I was supposed to go to court to prove that bill was paid.
I was then brought in on my warrant to the Moon Valley County Jail, my former workplace. I told my old boss Sparky that he could pat search me, as per procedure, and he refused. I was then placed in a holding cell until they could get to me. Corrections officer Tom Farry did a welfare security check and neglected to check my cell. (More than likely because he's afraid I'd kill him for trying to get on my girlfriend).
So, obviously nothing has changed there, as my complaint was that there were cigarettes, dope, and knives being smuggled into the jail without anyone pat searching the inmates as they came in to be processed.
I was bailed out by my girlfriend. I was then sent a notice to return to court on today's date if I wanted get my bail money back. I walked into the court administration office, no "visitor" badge, no sign no anything. I then went down into the lobby and obtained a badge (not really liking the idea of being in jail again) from Captain Vlad Shady of the Moon Valley Sheriff's department. As I watched other's signing in, I noticed one guy ask captain Shady if he could bring a pocket knife into court. Shady replied, "Yep, that's fine. Just don't use it. hahahahahaa!" If that isn't a setup for a bloody day in court. I wonder what they said to the terrorist who brought in a boxcutter to the planes on September 11th, 2001.
But, I got my badge, #14 (didn't want the consecutive one #13 as I'm superstitious and had enough bad luck to last a lifetime). And I also received some of my bail money back. A whopping $74.50.
