“It’s embarrassing for my position.”
The police chief of Lamar, NC has been charged with a little crime of his own. Apparently, while in uniform, Police Chief McDonald thought it would be a good idea to steal the windshield out of a golf cart. The cart was chained to a pole, so it’s unclear at this time whether he was trying to get around the chain by stealing the cart one piece at a time, or if he just really needed a golf cart windshield. You know, like for a window in his kid’s tree house or some such.
During his bond hearing, McDonald admitted to the judge that he “messed up” and that the whole thing was embarrassing for his position. You think? He also acknowledged that the media was there and that they’d “have a field day with it.” I think he’s a little high on himself. I mean, it’s an amusing anecdote and all that (hell, I’m blogging about it, aren’t I), but it doesn’t really rise up to the level of “have a field day with it.” I mean, it’s certainly no naked prosecutor story, know what I mean?
