PINE – Dialing 911 on the evening of April 30, Corky Cabin-ero told dispatch that a brace of bold brigands was trying to bust into his rustic mountain getaway. e cabin was vacant, but Corky could clearly see the dastardly duo and their shiny silver Mercedes on its Ring camera. Deputies shortly encountered all three and asked after their business at the Cabin-ero compound. Brisco Brigand said he knew the woman who owned the property, and that she wouldn’t mind their stopping by unannounced. Beaufort Brigand said they weren’t breaking in, just trying to nd a cell phone signal because he was currently on his wife’s Shinola List and unacceptably late in making an expected check-in call. Examining the scene, deputies found no damage to the property, nor any sign the shanty had been entered. Corky told deputies that the woman Brisco referenced was actually the cabin’s former owner. Deputies told Corky that, as far as they could tell, the Brigands hadn’t broken any laws, and told the Brigands that they should henceforth consider Casa Cabin-ero to be terra ingrata.

Performance panned SOUTH TURKEY CREEK – It wasn’t just what she said, it was the way she said it. What Tenant said, Landlord told deputies on the night of April 30, was “It would be a shame if your house were to burn down in the middle of the night,” and she said it while “throwing a cast iron skillet at me.” What’s more, Landlord had found his elderly dog whimpering at the bottom of a steep 20-foot slope and suspected Tenant “kicked” the poor creature down the hill. Deputies quickly learned that they’d been called in at the tag end of a protracted dispute. Tenant and two friends had spent the day moving her things out of the residence, and Landlord had spent the day anxiously monitoring their progress. “Tensions were high all day,” all parties agreed. Even so, Tenant and Co. vehemently denied mistreating Landlord’s dog, and Tenant said Landlord had been yelling at her while her hands were chock-full of out-going accouterments, causing her to “drop” the frying pan in usterment. Lacking any evidence beyond hopelessly incompatible verbal accounts, o cers saw no grounds for charges and let Tenant continue on her not-very-merry way.
