Barney Fife is Alive and Well
… and evidently is living in North Carolina:
An officer in New Bern, N.C., was Code 7 (out of service to eat) when he needed to take care of a 10-100 (go to the rest room), but that’s when he inadvertently committed a … well, it appears there is no copspeak for “forgot his gun in a public bathroom.” But that’s what happened when one of New Bern’s finest was answering a call while at lunch at the local Subway, according to the New Bern Sun Journal. The nearly foot-long weapon was found quickly, probably by the next 10-100, and another officer dispatched to pick it up. The hungry, forgetful officer’s name has not been released.
Remember, this is on the heels of last week’s story in which weapons from handguns to “machine guns” were stolen out of a Raleigh, NC SWAT van.
Somehow, I just don’t think that an NC cop is someone you would describe as “a frood who really knows where his towel is.”
