I totally had. That sells me. I'm heading down to talk to the sheriff about a job. I thought you might. Finally! Gainfully employed instead of sitting around smoking whoknowswhat.

There's an opening in Jonesboro AR if you're interested not sure you'll fit in though August 26, 2014 Anomaly100 The chief of the Jonesboro, Arkansas police resigned on Monday, just three days after being suspended by the mayor for making derogatory comments on Facebook in which he called a local news reporter a "smelly" "left wing liberal" and a backer of marijuana smoking, according to Reuters. Mike Yates, chief of police in Jonesboro, about 135 miles northeast of Little Rock, after serving for 9 years, said he was stepping down in order to take responsibility for his mistakes. "I let my anger and pride override my wisdom and judgment by saying a number of things that are unacceptable given my position," he said in his letter of resignation. Reuters reports: The reporter, Sunshine Crump, who resigned from the Jonesboro Sun last week after complaining she no longer felt safe, will rejoin the newspaper, its editor said. Angered by stories written by Crump, Yates posted comments suggesting she had an arrest record and had been suspended from the practice of law. His Facebook postings described Crump as "pro-dope smoking," a "left-wing liberal" and "smelly." Crump countered that her only arrest was for an anti-war protest while a college student, and that her attorney's license fell inactive because she discontinued her law practice. Sun publisher David Mosesso said Crump would return and be assigned to a beat other than law enforcement. "You're never happy about someone losing their job but I really couldn't see him returning in his role as police chief," Mosesso said of Yates. "I think he'd lost the respect of the citizens of Jonesboro." Watch courtesy of KAIT 8:
