Sandy Springs Police Department gets a ‘drive-thru’ window Sandy Springs Police Capt. Steve Rose joked in his “Weekly Wrap” that a new “drive-thru” is being tested at police headquarters after a SUV crashed into the building. Sgt. Forrest Bohannon, a spokesman for Sandy Springs police, said a vehicle driven by a civilian struck police headquarters in the morning, and, “thankfully, no one was injured.” The cause of the accident is under investigation and no charges have been made at this time, she said. “SSPD announced today that the office now has a drive-thru lane located on the south end of the building in what used to be the executive assistant’s office,” Rose wrote. “The initial test was not so successful.”

She even sent a photo of the ex’s penis, which is kind of stupid since the wife already knows what it looks like— I assume, or maybe not, which, now that I think of it, may be a reason for the divorce? Never mind! Anyway she filed a report and forwarded the documentation to detectives.
