Cops stop cyclist with butcher knife-pool cue axe

Published: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 10:45 PM CST
Alexandria police said man stopped for riding his bicycle at night without a headlight was carrying a weapon made from a butcher knife attached to a pool cue. They said the 51-year-old man also had a razor blade in his hat. He was booked with illegally carrying a weapon, doing so after a felony conviction, resisting an officer, public intoxication and at least five outstanding warrants.

The police report said the suspect originally gave police a fake name. An officer patted him down and found a metal push rod that appeared to be used for smoking crack cocaine. They also found a prescription painkiller in someone else's name.

completely normal . . .

Completely normal kind of guy and happening, for the place! I would like to know the guy's name, might be somebody I know. I had several businesses in and around Alexandria back in the eighties. The only time I looked forward to coming to work on Monday mornings, just to hear what folks had gotten into over the weekend!

Mostly supergood people up there but a lot of them have family trees without many branches and most of them have the redneck country folk's gift for getting into trouble and unusual situations without even trying. Running a wrecker service up there I was called on to address many a strange happening. The people coming into my salvage yard were good for some strange stories too. Of course rumor has it that I fit right in with the rest of the folks back then too. :smile: :wink: :smile:

Damn, I miss that place!!
