When I was in college, the best part of the student newspaper was the crime and incident report. 20 years later, the tradition lives on. Here is an item from today’s The Miami Student (Oxford, Ohio): Officials find male with head injury At around 2 a.m. Tuesday, Oxford Police Department (OPD) officers were dispatched to [...]
