MINNEAPOLIS — The announcement sounded significant. "Forty-six arrests and 69 felony-level charges," announced by the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office after they and Minneapolis Police spent three days in late January, along with the State Patrol helicopter, targeting robbery and car jacking suspects.

Sheriff David Hutchinson told KARE 11 News on Feb. 2 that a lot of those arrests were specifically for carjacking-related crimes.

But now, three weeks after the arrests, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office says it has only received 12 cases from investigators. Of those, only five could be charged.

And of those, none are related to carjacking.

3. And of those five, three were charged with "sauntering with intent to loiter."

And one of those was the Sheriff.

4. Saunter for 10-20 feet max,

loiter for 10 minutes to catch his breath, saunter another few feet, loiter again...

5. That would get you arrested for Felonious Mopery in the First Degree. Boy, you in a heap o' trouble.

6. I'm talking about that cop!

7. So's I. He's a plump little bugger, en't he?

8. He's actually pretty good guy,

an upstanding DFLER and a big improvement over the last sheriff, Rich Stanek (who had to shamed into allowing deputies to carry Narcan).

9. Er ist immer noch ein dicker kleiner Mann, nicht wahr?
