In addition to littering the campus with birdseed and thousands of pancakes and syrup, students also toilet papered campus trees.

This occurred around 4 a.m. Monday and was interrupted when students tried to break into one of the buildings, setting off an alarm, bringing the Panama City Beach police to the scene.

Principle Bland initially decided to press charges, but after many calls from angry parents, Principle Bland decided to drop the charges.]]> 15@http://thecountypress.com Senior Prank Nearly Results In Charges Against 18 Graduates 2010-06-13T09:47:54-05:00 http://thecountypress.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=12#14
“I agree the contractors hiring the illegals should be charged,” Sheriff McKeithen said. “We have been trying to enforce these laws for several years. We actually charged several contractors with hiring illegals only to have charges dropped.”

Sheriff McKeithen emphasized he has in the past sent letters to the Attorney General about this very issue only to be told that state laws concerning the hiring of illegal aliens are preempted by federal law which the BCSO could not enforce.  The community has to know by now that if I could, I would,” Sheriff McKeithen said. “I?m doing my job. Someone else has to do theirs.”]]> 14@http://thecountypress.com Frank McKeithen on contractors hiring illegals 2010-05-24T14:58:49-05:00 http://thecountypress.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=11#13
According to our teacher friend, this young girl is a problem child, nothing more than a female thug, and has caused problems the entire school year.  Not only did she resist, but she spat on the officer and hit him with her balled fist.

In retrospect, I would say that the Officer showed great restraint on the charge.

Good Job Officer.]]> 13@http://thecountypress.com Everitt Student Arrested Over Cell Phone 2010-05-06T18:03:38-05:00 http://thecountypress.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=10#11
Personally, I think Guy has done enough damage, and fleeced our community for more than his share.

To elect him would be to put another "good old boy" into office.  This is something Bay County can do without.]]> 11@http://thecountypress.com Guy Tunnel Announces He's Running 2010-05-01T17:32:47-05:00 http://thecountypress.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=9#10
According to a statement from his office, he still holds out hope that Sallie Mae can continue to provide services, and keep their employees working.  They are already in the unemployment line and ALLEN HOLD OUT HOPE?

Allen, what happened to representing the people of Northwest Florida?  You have failed in your job, and come November, you will be terminated.

Just hold out hope.  That will fix everything, won't it?]]> 10@http://thecountypress.com Allen Boyd Holds Out Hope? 2010-04-25T13:15:31-05:00 http://thecountypress.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8#9
Hello people, these are animals.  You need to leave them at home, where they belong.  I don't want to go out for a pleasant evening, and have to share my space and experience with your dog.  I don't want him sniffing on me, I don't want him around me sniffing the other dogs, I don't want his hair flying into my food when it is shedding and I definitely don't want him around if mother nature decides to do it's calling.

What are our politicians thinking?

I have a friend who has a couple of poodles that are "his children".  I'm sure you'll see him at these places.  All they do is yap, yap, yap when others are around.  I like the guy otherwise, but his "relationship" with his mutts is out there.  I also have a sister, whose hero is Paris Hilton, right down to the requisite little Chihuahua packed in the purse.  I put them in the class of the idiot who drives down my road every day with 3 dogs in his lap.  Hello people, these are animals.  You are endangering other lives when you act and drive so irresponsibly.

Please respect the rest of us and leave your animals at home.]]> 9@http://thecountypress.com Dogs In Restaurants 2010-02-20T20:17:03-05:00 http://thecountypress.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=7#8

Sheryl Stated James Has An Anger Problem And Became Upset With Her.

She Was Also Provided With A Domestic Violence Pamphlet For Which She Signed A Receipt. I Advised Sheryl To Contact The Sheriff's Office If James Returned Before I Found Him. I Then Left The Scene To Search For Him.

At Approximately 0230Hrs On 9/21/09 I Drove By Sheryl And James' House Where I Saw That James Had Returned On Sheryl's Motorcycle. I Knocked On The Door And Saw James Walk From The Living Room To The Rear Of The House. Sheryl Opened The Door And I Advised Her I Was There To Arrest James. I Made Contact With James And Placed Him Under Arrest. James Immediately Began To State That He Did Nothing Wrong And Denied All Allegations Made Against Him. While Escorting James To My Patrol Vehicle, Sheryl Stated She Didn't Want Him To Go To Jail And Stated "This Is Not The Help He Needs." I Reminded Sheryl That She Gave A Sworn Taped Statement Where She Stated She Wished To Pursue Charges Against James For Domestic Battery.
