Visits to the “cop shop,” ie, the Oklahoma City Police Department, are a part of my weekly duties. There, reporters from the OKC media gather in a small third-floor room and peruse the freshest list of arrests from Oklahoma County jail as well as police reports. It’s the place police news items like this, this and this tend to surface. We mutter and curse when “the stack,” our nickname for the pile of reports, looks impossibly large. We perk up when a big crime item surfaces, and chat and joke and cast glances over a competitors’ shoulders if it is sensed one is acting particularly stealthy.

I’d like to blog a little more, so I thought I’d start a regular chronicle of cop shop happenings to share some quirky or noteworthy items that come up at cop shop but don’t quite make the news.

Here are a few from recent weeks:

Lethal weapons

Police found a woman on the street who said her brother-in-law had made unwanted sexual advances while driving her home from the bar. She fought him off. The woman, a kick boxer, said her hands are “registered as deadly weapons in New Mexico.”

Best confiscated weapon

The best weapon police picked up from a criminal lately had to be a set of brass knuckles with an artistic rendering of wolves. Owoooo!
