Addendum to the Marblehead Police Log by Matt Lieberson and Joel Katz
Headlight's Editor-in-Chief Matt Lieberson and Sports Editor Joel Katz write their own Police Log where they report the incidents from around Marblehead this past week.
One of our favorite parts of this fine newspaper is the police log. The entries in the log, though sometimes serious, can often be quite entertaining. Recently there was an entry to the Marblehead police log that made it onto Ellen DeGeneres’ TV show, and the log has gotten publicity since.
For the past year, we have wanted to do a police log. As our tenure with the paper comes to an end, we decided to do some independent investigating this past week, and we picked up on some incidents that the police log appears to have missed…
Monday, 3:03 pm: Teen cited for smashing ukuleles over desks at Marblehead High School. Students with ukuleles described themselves as the high school’s “Ukulele Club”. Teen described himself as Headlight’s editor-in-chief.
