In an effort to make the police blog more "bloggy," I've been encouraged to summarize the material we report in the print version of The Star and link to the articles instead of posting the content verbatim. I'm going to do my best to continue to offer the same amount of quasi-daily information that has been provided here, but it may be a click or two away now.
Now on to today's business.
I spoke with the State Troopers yesterday. They reportedly found the vehicle they believe hit Bridget Craft, 48, while was walking on Eulaton Road back on April 18. Here's the story.
A 13-year-old girl from west Anniston also came forward this week and told police she was raped back in January by a man she met on a social networking site. This is the first of these I've seen since I've been here but I wouldn't be surprised to find that there have been others.
Finally, there were a pair of robberies - one with an arrest - in Anniston on Monday night. In one a 43-year-old man was jumped by three or four other men near Blue Mountain Road. In the other a 28-year-old was robbed by someone he knew on Old Birmingham Hwy.
Today I'm going to be looking at an Anniston City Council story from last night by Megan Nichols. Apparently the jurisdiction for Anniston Police is going to be pulled in out of the county a little bit so they can concentrate more on the city.

I think this is just another way for the paper to make money because now people have to 'buy' the online addition to find out the rest of the details of a major story. So, i think your 'new' blogging system stinks!
The paper's site online has always been a subscription service. We've been posting a lot of the briefs on the blog for a while but we can't continue to do that. I'm still tweaking my approach to offer some good information yet link back to the site.
It's tough to offer quality information to people and still make sure we can put food on the table for reporters like me.
My heart is not in sales, and I'm a less than adequate business person but here is the information you need to find out about subscriptions.
