Local Resident Arrested For Impersonating Journalist

Local Resident Arrested For Impersonating Journalist

Last week a local resident (for the sake of privacy and not unduly influencing jurors, you know who he/she is), was arrested for impersonating a journalist in the Julian News. He/she (for the sake of privacy) was also charged for impersonating a writer, since he/she had never taken an actual writing class in college other than bonehead English. Since April 2, 2008, there has been quite a body of evidence piling up against him/her. One person said, “I watch the TV news and I read in the San Diego Union about how grotesque and messed up everything is. Do I have to understand why too? Give me a break” The last article featuring Gov. Schwarzenegger was the last straw and the governor sent out the order “Bring him/her in.” There will be an appearance at the San Diego Inferior Court in Julian (it’s the most the County would give us.) In the interest of public decency, the columnist has been indefinitely suspended by The Julian News pending outcome of the trial. Finally this might be the weapon needed to silence this aggravation, but it’s not a slam dunk. However it is rumored that the writer was just a front for the true author. The mayor has noted that if his own indictment had been so minor to have been scheduled in the Julian court, he would have been off scot-free by now. As it is, having to hire an expensive lawyer in San Diego is draining his campaign fund dry. At least if he’s judged guilty, there won’t be any funds to return.
