PLEASE CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG

by Crime Beat Cub Reporter Bob Wilhelm

Tragedy struck Otoe County this holiday weekend as inflatables were spreading joy, hope and the message of the season. Cut down in their prime this incident was extremely deflating to all those who enjoy them. Authorities remain tight lipped about any leads but believe it may be the result of a turf war between rival groups. Tensions have risen in recent years between those who have moved from traditional to the inflatable displays. The word on the street is that investigators are looking for information on a bearded rather portly old fellow in a red suit and hat that was last seen leaving the area in a vehicle accompanied by 8 reindeer. They are calling them mammals of interest. We expect more information to become available after forensic work is completed. Initial speculation is that this senseless tragedy was caused by a drive-by unplugging. There is hope that tensions between the two groups can be worked out and that any damage can be patched up to ensure continued peace and good will to all. Anyone with information on this crime is asked to contact authorities. All providers of information will remain confidential.
