I'm home in Northern New York for a week, and that means...
More NORTH COUNTRY BRIEFS from the Watertown Daily Times!

In the N.Co. Briefs this morning:



    Pair Accused of Stealing Brownies from Home

    Norfolk, NY - Two Norfolk men who allegedly took some holiday baking
    were arrested by state police Sunday.

    Anthony George, 23, and Royjohn L. Gurrola, 18, entered an unoccupied
    Norfolk home and stole a watch and brownies, troopers said.

    They were arraigned in Norfolk Town Court on second-degree burglary
    charges and each was ordered held in the St. Lawrence County jail,
    Canton, on $2,000 bail.


Those must have been some tasty brownies.

Let me point out that the guys did not break and enter. The house was probably a) left unlocked, and b) a neighbor's house where they already are regulars. I'm also speculating they are high school buddies of the man of the house, and he got married not too long ago, and the wife is the one who called the State Police. I'm also guessing this is not the first time they have walked off with quantities of food. I can just see her eyes narrowing... "THIS time they'll PAY!"

You know, I actually once was friends with a Tony George from up that way, but he would be 35 or so now. I wonder if this was a relative of his. Wouldn't be a big surprise. He was a big stoner. Now that adds color to the picture. Tony and Royjohn (love that name) were probably REALLY STONED that they walked out of the house with a watch and a pan of brownies, ignoring the TV and stereo.
