Lesson #1
A few yrs. back, I witnessed a car break-in late at night. I phoned the police who caught and arrested the person. The police came to my residence at 3 am for a statement. I was hesitant to sign anything since I did not want my name involved. They ASSURED me that would not ever happen but it was needed to put him behind bars. Weeks later I received an Order of Protection in the mail. Now the criminal new my name! I called the NRPD and the D.A.’S office and everyone passed the buck. The D.A. didn’t return my call until the 8th message I left. Never again will I involve myself in any crime in this town. They put my life at jeopardy and lied to me! I can’t believe that’s how they treated a civilian and I won’t forget either!
