Update and New Rating

Just an update. Mr. D and I spent about 2 hours at the Bloomington Police station yesterday chatting with an officer about our neighborhood situation.

For those of you who were worried, "Unconscious Girl" was located at Fairview Southdale Hospital. Her sister brought her in later in the evening. I think he said her blood alcohol level was .17. She was born in 1990. Very sad.

From what we could piece together, when a report of an unconscious person being stuffed into a car (it happens all the time!) is issued and a description of a vehicle given, the police pursue the vehicle first. Makes sense. Then, it sounded like they notify hospitals in the area to report any behavior that fits the incident. In this case Fairview Southdale contacted them later in the evening, so they didn't pursue it further with us.

The policeman who we discussed this with got a printout of the activities of the last couple weeks and read us the report. The arrest we observed was for assault (is that how you spell assault?) in the coffeetable incident. There was a serving alcohol to minors charge and some others. Then, there was a list of a bunch of names of people they had identified at the party. The police officer said it read like a Who's Who of all the drugies in Bloomington.

What a sad way to live...in an altered state and with no hope.
