One Halloween, many years ago, I was assigned to patrol division and working nights. I got a complaint that some older kids had robbed a younger kid of his candy. The younger kid was menaced with a “stick” and told he would be hit with it. I had no sooner finished interviewing the young victim than I got another report of it happening again. The common threads in the description were a “stick” and orange glow in the dark paint on the masks. It didn’t take me long to find them, glow in the dark paint and the sick.
Long story short, I located the two juvenile knuckleheads and arrested them for armed robbery. The stick turned out to be a 3/4 inch piece of rebar stolen from a construction site. The parents of the two knuckleheads, tried to blame me for it, then told me that stealing another kids candy with a weapon and threats to hit them wasn’t a crime and that boys would be boys.
The pain wound up going to court and losing. One had been arrested a couple of times previously and was sent to juvenile detention for 12 months. The other kid was placed on probation.
The one who went to jail didn’t learn his lesson and was killed hone he tried to do it again in a nearby town. He learned that rancher’s don’t play.
