Many local say they’re having a tough time supporting their favorite candidates. They’ve proudly placed their McCain or Obama signs in their front yards—only to have them stolen. Officer Kelly Parsons with the Walla Walla Police Department says stealing a campaign sign is the same thing as walking onto someone’s yard and stealing a fountain—and it’s punished in the same exact way. ***punishable/…if we caught the people who are stealing the signs they would be issued a citation and required to appear before court and then the judge would determine the fine and if jail time is involved…/*** Officer Parsons says catching the offenders is very difficult. ***night/…I don’t know exactly what time of day the signs are coming up missing but it’s typically at night because criminals like to work in the cover of darkness…/*** A time when officers are the most busy. Parsons says while they would like to catch those who are guilty of the misdemeanor crimes, officers have to prioritize and handle the most serious offenses first. |
