From 2-10pm Friday I was running around Orlando, Casselberry and Winter Park setting up for two of our popular food truck events. When I finally got to my work desk, I found several of my friends talking about the man who shot an elder dog in the face out of self defense.
I wanted to write a story too, but I wanted to read the police report before writing the story so I could (perhaps) add something new to the conversation.
Getting a police report on the weekends is not possible. Seriously.
At 12:17am Saturday morning (told you I was busy all day) I called Winter Park Police Department to ask them for a copy of the police report.
The Winter Park Police Department's records department isn't open on the weekends. So, I was told I could not have the police report.
I found this bizarre, so I called Orlando Police Department to see if they have the same policy.
They do.
