Stop the Presses! Alert the Associated Press, FOX, WINK, CNN and The Wall Street Journal! Sheriff Steve Whidden recently arrested a nineteen year old college student for possession of steroids! WOW! What an awesome crime-fighter. The expired tag the kid had on his car just reeked of potential criminal activity and our Sheriff stepped up to the plate and took him down like the major illicit drug trafficker that he obviously was. Excellent police work, I bet he'll write himself a "letter of accomodation." Maybe he'll pin his own medal on his chest?

Sadly, he no doubt had his PIO Captain issue an immediate press release to the local rags as it managed to make today's front page on both sides of the county. No mention of the record-setting pace of traffic fatalities in Hendry County this year or the fact that not a single homicide has been solved by HCSO in well over 18 months (or longer?) Talk about self-aggrandizing behavior but then again, he's consistent, it's all about him, always has been.
