Cops Corner

Nov. 8 Two-timer 10:28 a.m. - 2000 block of Main Street. General Suspicion. A man asked an attorney to amend his marriage license that was signed in 2006, so it showed their wedding had just occurred. Getting suspicious, the attorney looked a little further into the matter. The man divorced his first wife last July - four years after he married his second wife. The attorney reported the man to police, because he believed he might have committed a crime.
