Tampa News Roundup

A yorkshire terrier puppy stolen from a local pet store has been returned. Moral of the story? Yorkies seem like a really good idea, but once you have one, the horrible truth emerges very quickly. They're evil little beasts. An aside - we disapprove of pet stores that sell pets. This puppy was stolen from a glass-fronted kennel in the middle of the night. What a sad place for a puppy to be.

Moving right along...
A local man doing 83 in a 65 zone got pulled over and was busted with half a kilo of cocaine. Moral of this one? If you're driving around with a fairly large quantity of cocaine, significantly exceeding the speed limit is probably not the best idea.

A father shot and killed his son in an argument over money. This happened in Gibsonton, a community that's traditionally...a little weird. It's where the carnies and circus freaks winter, which probably explains the somewhat odd names of the men involved.

OK, folks, that's it for now.
