Since the weekly police reports found in the pages of The Northern Light are often a source of humor or downright amazement, I've decided to start posting my favorite(s) of the week each Thursday.
For the inaugural post in this series, I present an Oregon man who encountered some trouble on Wednesday, Sept. 22 while trying to cross the Peace Arch border into Canada. According to the report, officers were dispatched to the border to deal with a man who was having trouble crossing the border. The man explained he was attempting to get to British Columbia to meet up with the Queen and CIA agents but was not allowed to cross, to his surprise and dismay.
The man was convinced through his conversations with police to give up the .38 caliber revolver he was carrying along with some of the sharper, pointier weapons he had in his possession. Despite the helpfulness of the officers, he was not able to find his briefcase, which he said contained vital nuclear missile launch codes.
After officers were convinced that the man no longer had the ability to start global thermonuclear war, they sent him on his way back to Oregon. The report did not say whether or not the man returned to his home in Washington's neighbor to the south with his marbles intact.
