When this is the headline, would it be possible for Patch to actually do a little bit of investigating before posting the most basic police blotter facts? There's a reason why you chose this blotter report as your headline, right? Why not take the extra step and tell us the 'what' and the 'why'? Did this guy dangle his kid from a bridge? make him play catcher without a mask? put him in the back of the pickup truck? c'mon. If Patch covered 9/11, the story would've been "Planes hit buildings. Buildings fall down. People die."
