" Hi Earl - this was a great story. The NOPBD did change hight though around 1974 I think. Anyway, I hope you get this e-mail as we are looking for my best friend at St. Joe, Gwen. We are having our Reunion next year and she has been MIA for years. I even called you a couple of times prior to Katrina. I hope all of your family is well and again, I think this is a great story.

" If I go rob Parish National Bank and give $2300 to my boss, and my boss finds out from the Metropolitan Crime Commission it's stolen money so he goes and writes a check to pay PNB back, would I not still be guilty of THEFT? Would the FBI just blow it off and let me go?

Buell has been police chief here for about 30 years. He didn't use bad judgment once, he admits to it for the past several years.

Tom - fall on your sword and resign since you've disgraced your office and position. "

" Why does a teacher get convicted of a crime for buying a camera with a fund he shouldn't of used, but the Chief of Police faces no criminal charges what-so-ever? "
