The blotter

By TED SULLIVAN Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - 8:11 p.m.

A "person down" was reported in Janesville. The person hadn't moved for 20 minutes. Police and fire responded to find that the person was taking a nap.
Moooooo! A 150-gallon milk tank was stolen from a farm along Highway 14.
A man charged with possession of improvised explosives told investigators he was a "pyro" who tried to make a "little thing that blows up," according to the criminal complaint.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T: A battery was reported at Road Dawg Saloon. Members of the Outlaws motorcycle gang are suspected of assaulting a patron after he disrespected them.
A caller told police a Janesville man was keeping chickens in his garage, violating the livestock and poultry ordinance.

I want my big giant milk tank back. Someone stole it while I was taking a short nap.

The Outlaws assault is troubling. Are the police letting that slide, or did they make an arrest?
