Summary

It may be the beginning of summer, but the boys are back at work! In today’s technology-filled world of crime fighting, Jethro has a story of two criminals brought down mid-crime spree by one of mankind’s oldest problems – good old-fashioned dog poop! Then Lindsay tells us about a Texas woman who brought an unusual “treat” to her daughter’s fifth-grade school party. Everything was going well – until most of the kids ended up slightly buzzed. And staggering to the nurse’s office. And that’s when the cops were called! Episode 161 is up and ready to entertain! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
