Police Officer High Arrests Mule; Chief Fines Mule $1.00 Roanoke Rapids has a most efficient police department. Its officers don’t give a hoot who you are or what you are. Officer Warren High will arrest anything, so the story goes. This reporter went out this morning looking for a “horse” story, or something, and not hav ing any luck, we^ came up with a mule story. Now this particular mule was taking a late Sunday afternoon stroll about the city. Maybe he was looking for a place to eat or sleep. Who knows. Anyway, Officer High came along and seeing the “loiterer” stopped him and began plying him with ques tions about law violations. Not being able to get any satisfac tory answers from the mule he hopped on his back and said: “Get the H - - - down to the up.” And he did, too, believe it or not. And there the mule stayed— in jail—until Monday morning. Came down Chief Dobbins early Monday and after learning about the law violating mule, he promptly called a “special term of his court.” The mule went on trial for his life or something. He couldn’t de fend himself and he had no smooth-talking lawyer. So Chief Dobbins took advantage of the situation, promptly found him guilty and fined the heavy pen alty of one buck. The fine was paid by Bruce Camp. So, in the future, if you are walking about the city and you look like a mule, keep out of sight of Officer High or you will go to jail just as sure as you are living.
