This is kind of  a lousy picture, but that’s a crack pipe. It is one of two found in this guy’s car. This one was hidden in his smokes. The cellophane of which was filled with “what appears to be” marijuana.
Bad news for the driver who was just picking up his buddies from the bar. [...]

That’s what the woman said as she came into the newsroom today. She said she needed to tell the editors what people want to read about in their hometown newspaper.
“I want to read about stuff in town,” she said.
She doesn’t want to see a story about a teenager in California stabbing another teenager in California. [...]
