Best phone message of my life:
While You Were Out...
"Someone who read the paper today read your police brief and "thought it was the funniest thing in the world" and "wanted to give you kudos."
I received this a day after getting an e-mail from someone who asked if my police briefs were made up.
Police brief
An 18-year-old male student was arrested for a domestic assault after an altercation occurred involving a hamster early Tuesday, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said.
Two 18-year-old male Emmons Hall roommates told police they were home last weekend, leaving a room key with a mutual friend to take care of a pet hamster.
When the two returned, the hamster was missing, and one roommate told police the second roommate was upset and left the room.
According to police, the second roommate returned later, more upset. He allegedly sprinkled hamster feces and cage droppings on the first roommate's bed, refusing to clean it off.
The first roommate responded by doing the same to the second bed.
Upon finding his bed soiled, the second roommate reportedly threw a chair at the first roommate, hitting him on his right leg. The first roommate told police he pushed the second man to prevent being hit again, and other students entered the room to stop the fight.
The second roommate was arrested for domestic assault and minor in possession. The case was sent to the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office.
Non-aquatic animals are not allowed in dorm rooms, according to university ordinances.
The hamster's condition and name are not known, McGlothian-Taylor said.

Also: it's kind of refreshing to be plodding through pages of court reports and discover one of your junior high nemeses got an MIP. So sorry, sweetie!
Back to work, then maybe Ann Arbor for the evening.
