But the victim of the alleged break-in, McKay, 29, of 37 Cherry St., faces a summons for assault and battery causing severe injury after he broke Johnson’s jaw after confronting him when Johnson allegedly was trying to break into his car.

I think the CLEO needs a new line of work. He's more concerned about his job than he is about the people he's suppose to protect.

F'ing ridiculous.

"Don't fight back, call us. By the time we get there, the thief is gone and we'll do some paperwork. But how can you expect us to track down some tools and fishing poles?"
