Interesting you mention that. The AOL Patch website used to carry a very useful and detailed police blotter. Then AOL pulled the plug on it and I could not find it in any other publication. I emailed the police department, and they started emailing a weekly copy of the blotter to me. Those mysteriously stopped about six months ago.

My sources tell me that leaders of the local Amish community pressured local elected Dem-O-Rats to stop releasing the police blotter to the public, as making the general public aware of the rising number of Amish drive-by shootings was seen as counterproductive to their agenda.
