“I watched a small man with thick calluses on both hands work 15 and 16 hours a day... who taught me all I needed to know about faith and hard work by the simple eloquence of his example.”

Barking Up the Wrong Tree ANIndiana woman who
barked at a police dog attracted the attention of officers, who arrested her on
outstanding warrants.
Lafayette police say officers were conducting a traffic stop one Monday when 20-year-old Kiana Champagne Fletcher, who was standing in front of her home, began barking at a police dog sniffing the stopped car.
The Journal and Courier re- ports that officers recognized Fletcher and knew she had two outstanding warrants.
Police say Fletcher ran in- side her house, but officers arrested her after obtaining a search warrant.
Fletcher remains jailed on warrants for conversion, which is a form of theft, and operating a vehicle without a license. She also faces prelim- inary charges of possessing methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia after police say they found drugs in her home.
Online court records don’t list an attorney who might speak, growl or whine on Fletcher’s behalf.
