Use the "Convenience Centers" People!

I hear that LaVergne has a police officer whose name keeps cropping up as "trouble." Now I certainly don't want to cross him, especially since he seems to arrest folks for seemingly silly things. The latest, he arrested a woman for throwing her trash in a dumpster where she didn't live. Here is the STORY from Channel 2 News.

Apparently two other officers tried to write a citation for a misdemeanor, but Officer Tartt didn't think that was good enough. He had a warrant issued for her arrest and tracked her down. Okay, that seems pretty frickin' extreme to me. Arresting her for dumping her trash in a dumpster illegally (I guess it was the trespassing into the apartment parking lot that he didn't like). In Officer Tartt's defense, the apartment complex did ask him to be vigilant about keeping his eyes out for this exact thing. But come on... arresting her??? That seems extreme to me.

You can bet I drive my trash to the FREE convenience center located on Sand Hill Road. Jeepers..........
