There's been some (justifiable) slating of local journalism on here of late, but there's surely something here for everyone;
Irresponsible dog owner meets the bloke from Taken with addition trolling from Warwickshire Police
Outstanding. 🙂
Nice, but the real credit should go to whoever manages the police social media account.
And to Liam Neeson, obvs.
I have a curtain set of skills - lol
... tried to run from officers but instead turned into a garden fence face first.
This is the outside version of someone falling down stairs while being arrested isn't it? 😀
Shitty situation all round.
Love it.
I could get lost down a wormhole of clickbait on that page too. I mean, I've been dying to know who Fiona Bruce's life partner is. Who hasn't?
Nice.
Excellent. Liam Neeson takes his dog for a walk.
As a dog walker, who lives less than 5 miles from Alcester, I shall be very polite to all other dog walkers from now on!
PS I don't have a certain set of skills and was nowhere near Alcester when this happened :o)

It's me .... oh wait.... damn, it's not me.

I did wonder how long it took them to find the nearest fence.
superb!!
Well done Lucy-Ann Jones >>TRAINEE REPORTER<<
Great scoop on a failure to scoop.

Some more comedy local rags here and many compo faces
military background and a rather impressive skill set.
S****s 🙂
How much aiming do you think it took for the man to land face down in his own dogs leavings
That's brilliant by the Police, and the dog walker with the special set of skills.
The facebook post from Warwickshire Rural Crime Team is even better:
We recently attended an incident in the Alcester area whilst covering a reactive policing shift.
Following a report of assault, we were surprised when we arrived at the scene and saw what looked like our victim running away from our colleagues. Owing to our athleticism and not at all because our runner turned into a garden fence face first, we managed to apprehend the gentlemen and start figuring out what on earth had gone on…
So… Our apparent victim, turned out to be our suspect who didn’t want to hang around. Having taken his dog for a walk, and being challenged by a member of public for not picking up his dogs mess, our suspect decided to throw some nasty words and a few punches rather than apologise and do the right thing.
Having had his punches expertly dodged this should have given our suspect an indication that he had chosen the wrong course of action, however, undeterred, he sought help from a nearby plank of wood, followed by a loose paving slab.
Our actual victim, who, we shall call Neo, thankfully came out of the incident unscathed, but understandably bored of dodging and repeatedly disarming his attacker, he used reasonable force to restrain our suspect on the floor whilst he waited for police to arrive.
It is unfortunate for the suspect on this occasion that his victim happened to have an extensive military background and a rather impressive skill set. It is also unfortunate that the coordinates of where the suspect was restrained on the floor just so happened to correspond with the exact location of his animals prior bowel evacuation.
This gentleman was able to reflect on this altogether unfortunate incident in a police cell after a hot shower and will no doubt continue to reflect until he attends court for assault and offences under the dog (fouling of land) act.
P.s. Warwickshire RCT reserve the right to refuse to answer all questions relating to how a suspect managed to go from being detained by a member of public, to making a run for it in the presence of police officers. Any cake fines related to this incident will have been honoured by the time of this anecdote going to print
The more detailed information is amazing
Brilliant, needs sharing far and wide that does. 😎👍
Great work by the police there, particularly their media team.
What really surprises me is that we've got to 22 posts without a single dog turd apologist.
This thread has improved my Friday by a great deal. Thanks LimboJimbo 🙂
Cake fines!
There must have been force social media training:
Meanwhile in Falkirk, officers dealing with the incident forgot to take a photo of the vehicle being uplifted so have provided this 'police artist's impression' instead...
That sort of 'skill set' was around a long time back when i grew up there,the local neds were all a bit fighty
at least back then there were a couple of police in the town massive growth in population no police in town since 80's
'Dog shit alley' was a real place on the way to school. that is where the responsible dog owners went to empty their animals BITD! cake fines sounds good

So much "local outrage" . . . I didn't see any "thin end of the wedge" comments but I bet there were some!
