MORRIS:

WASHDON POLICE DEPARTMENT - Arrest Report

Sheet

FOR THE ATTENTION OF: Detective-Superintendent Henson

NAME OF SUSPECT: Mr John A. Berry

REASONS FOR ARREST:
1 - Use of bad language in a public place.
2 - Wasting a police officer's time.
3 - Damaging property and causing danger to the public.
4 - There was something I didn't like about him.

DETAILED REPORT OF THE EVENTS LEADING
UP TO THE ARREST

The suspect came into Mean Street Police Station at 4:37 p.m. on Wednesday, February 15th, claiming to have lost his car. Of course, this story did not satisfy an experienced police officer like myself, and I immediately started to question the suspect. After about three-quarters of an hour he changed his story, claiming that the vehicle had been stolen. Something about this story, too, sounded extremely unlikely and I refused to accept it.

The suspect insisted on his story, however, and it was only by using the active questioning techniques I recently learned on the very enjoyable and useful training course given by Detective-Superintendent Henson that I was able to get the real truth out of him.

When he finally broke down under my questioning, he admitted that he had parked his car in a no-parking zone, and then blown it up. I have not yet worked out what reasons he might have had for doing this; my theory is that he is a mentally ill anarchist terrorist who sees parking regulations as a symbol of everything he hates most in modern society.

Signed

Detective-Inspector Philip E. Morris

P.S. I haven't written his statement yet; please advise me on what it should say, and I shall get him to sign it as soon as possible.
