Was the truck driver arrested for OUI in New Vineyard hauling water by chance?
I feel my question was legitimate when asking if the trucker arrested for OUI might have been tied to water. Quite likely it wasn’t but the track record of water mishaps warrants the question. DB’s censorship is tough for loyal readers like myself that might say something that ruffles feathers of those that don’t agree. Especially in the opinion section….
Captain, permission to come aboard?
I would recommend to you and others to look into a police scanner. You get live information and once you can understand the lingo you will get almost all police/fire/ems traffic in your ear live. A scanner radio with antenna and cable will run you a few hundred and it will last years if not decades. A very useful tool to stay informed when all other media has failed you, and it has. Also can be battery or car operated in power outages.
Cheers.
