Dope. Bronco students, your neighbor reported you to the police about allegedly smoking dope before school on Sutton Drive near Annadale Court. Are you getting high to try to imagine windows at Northgate or just being curious teenagers? Either way, don’t be stupid and be careful.

Honda stolen. A Chase Bank employee had his car stolen in the parking lot on 2/27. The car is a silver Honda CR-V, license plate 4CDB660. Hoping for a good ending!
