In other unusual police news, a dog who was reported stolen was, in fact, home the whole time.
This is either one smart dog, or a forgetful owner. Last Saturday in Shrewsbury, a person called 911 to report that his/her dog had been stolen from the White City Shopping Center. A short time later, the person called back to say the dog was at home. Slow and steady wins the race. And blocks traffic. It's that time of the year when turtles start making an appearance on roadways near you. So perhaps it's not that unusual. But still, we find it funny, or at least cute, when we read that a turtle is blocking traffic, as this one did in Medfield recently. An offer for a ride turns into a ride to the police station. When Westborough police met this man on an afternoon last weekend (he was asleep at a local business), they offered him a ride. …

Additionally, one town gave us plenty of fodder for what could have been an entire unusual police news column.
If he had just gone to court the first time, this wouldn't have happened. A Fitchburg man found himself on the wrong side of the bar in Westborough District Court this week when he was arrested for failing to appear for jury duty. When police pulled him over for failing to stop/yield, they found that he was wanted for skipping out on jury duty. No doubt his trip to court as a defendant will be less pleasant—and more expensive—than if he had simply shown up for jury duty. Why did the turtle cross the road? In Shrewsbury, he crossed the road because if he had stayed in the middle of it, he would have continued to block traffic. Shrewsbury police recently were called to Grafton Street to remove the turtle from the road, as cars were backing …
