CPD: Found Needles By Officer Adam Cravens COLUMBIA, KY August 28, 2019 -- This afternoon while conducting a training session at the roadside park off of Highway 55 South just outside of Columbia, a number of discarded needle syringes were located by K9 Gunner and his handler, Officer John Dial. The Columbia Police department is asking people to always use caution when taking children to a public place. As drug problems increase within the community this is always a possibility to come upon similar findings. Should you or family members find needles or anything similar, do not handle them yourself, but contact appropriate authorities to collect and dispose of them properly. 2019-08-28 21:32:18 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports

Letter: Not just here Martha Berry writes: It's not in just this area. I was looking out the window of a 4th floor office building in Louisville not too long ago. A lady who was obviously an employee got in her car and sat for a few minutes, finishing her drink. She then poured the remainder of the drink out of her car onto the pavement. That was ok since it would evaporate. She started her car and then THREW THE CUP OUT too. I could not believe what I had just seen! --MarthaComments re photo 84886 Letter Roberts angry about trashed public area 2019-08-28 12:41:36 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

It's nothing but sheer laziness on the part of these sorry lowdown individuals that leave messes like this in public areas and on the sides of the road. No wonder people are made fun of in this area.
