Howard, I hope you never change the format for the Crime News. Remove the colon after Police Beat and you have had some of the most entertaining headlines. My favorite is still "Police Beat: Homeless man accused of stealing money from prayer box in LeRoy church". My first thought was, that's exactly how Rudy Guliani cleaned up the streets of New York.

Jeff - a while back Howard did forget the colon. I think it said something to the effect of Police beat woman accused of shoplifting. We all got a good chuckle out of that one. What I like is the mugshots. Where are they?

I generally only request mug shots for fairly serious crimes (sort of a judgment call) and all accused drug dealers.

Maybe Howard should get a bag of colons for his next birthday. They seem to get lost, like pennies in the sofa.

I think I know the problem, since this is an online newspaper, there is no fiber and a lack of fiber is bad for the colon! sorry..too much of a digression.

Why all accused drug dealers? Is drug dealing different than other crimes? Does their picture deserve to be seen online when only accused and before being convicted? I don't get it.

I'm just curious why you single out "accused" drug dealers. Typically, people dealing drugs do so to support their own habit and only sell to people actively seeking the drug to begin with. The crap you see on tv about the drug dealer standing at the pay phone hoping to get your child addicted to drugs is total hype. Kids learn about drugs at home, from their friends or from their older siblings, not from some weirdo at the pay phone.

I'm really not trying to rile you up but singling out "accused" drug dealers seems to be something personal. Wouldn't it be more fair to post the picture of everyone who has had the honor of earning a mugshot or not posting any of them at all?
