The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office has been downright giddy this past week. Between January 26 and February 2, they’ve managed to snag 31 fine specimens of humanity—31! That’s 31 people so invested in local government that they thought, “You know what this town needs? More me behind bars.”
Before you get all worried about Nevada’s criminal enterprise, the State of Nevada joined in with three arrests, which, I suppose, is their way of proving they’ve still got a pulse. They’re so good at it that they’ve reduced their police efforts to something of a meditative art form.
Meanwhile, the Yerington Police Department had a week so quiet that I imagine their officers were sitting around sipping coffee, wondering if they’d remember what an arrest even looked like. Zero bookings. Not one. It’s a level of calm most people would only dream of.
And the Tribal Police? Let’s say they took the week off from making headlines. Maybe they were busy or knew there was no point in trying to outdo the chaos on the other side of the county.
So there you have it, folks. A week of law and order, with a healthy dose of “we’re not as busy as we should be.”
