One word for our local police- Yes.

Victims sought in potential fraud case

From the Bates County Sheriff's Office

Over the last several months the Bates County Sheriff's Office has been working several cases in reference to a recent contractor that has been paid to perform a job but has failed to complete the job. We are seeking any additional potential victims to determine whether there is a criminal case to be filed with the Prosecutors Office. If you have have paid David Joe West, aka Joe West, to install counter tops and never received the counter tops please contact a detective at the Bates County Sheriff's Office.

Oops, too soon?

After paying $60 to park, plus tickets, and a few gourmet priced hot dogs- there were some who vacated Arrowhead Stadium in disgust early in the game.

As was the case for some local fellas (who will remain nameless, as their personal shame is enough punishment) who no more got their vehicle warmed up when the Chiefs began a stunning comeback, to not only pass the Texans but go on to smash (annihilate, smoke, kill) our southern rivals in the AFC Divisional game yesterday. 

"Undoubtedly, it was the best game I've never seen" said one person who left in disgust after a dreadful first quarter. 

Interestingly, that person and one equally sorry buddy listened to the game on a very long trip back home. The only excitement in the car was Mitch Holthus pouring through the speakers.

"Maybe it was karma" he later said with a little optimism. "Maybe seeing people leave inspired them?" 

Nice try.

The Chiefs didn't appear to let anything bother them as the game just got better and better with a remarkable finish of 51-31; and now the Titans are in the cross hairs next Sunday at 2:05 pm.

We had to ask... will you make that mistake again?

With head bowed (still today), the answer was an assured "NO".
