Why would a reporter be hanging around inside of a restricted 911 emergency dispatch center? LE agencies will put out media releases as a matter of routine....To my knowledge, "reporters" are not allowed to wander around a law enforcement dispatch centers to look for stories...lol..

She overheard tidbits of the officer’s report that he was going to buy the man some food.

She "overheard"? Would that not mean the officer broadcasted what he was doing over the radio?

Why would someone concerned about feeding their family steal pens, pencils, and "maybe markers"?...

Why the story state, "Maybe markers"?

Did ya note the reporter, that was allegedly hanging around the 911 dispact center was not named?

Did ya note the thief was never named either?

every paper has a reporter assigned the police station to read the logs - and I imagaine they sometimes get extra tidbits from the person they deal with for months/years
