As I
was reading the wonderful Bozeman Police Reports from this past week, I was
inspired to take the best reports I could find and construct a fairy tale
around them. The following reports are the winners of the week, and provide the
storyline for a retelling of Snow White.
- A man reported receiving a text message stating, “Hey, I hid the body. No one will find it. Thanks for all your help. Delete after receiving.”
- A cell phone “covered in blood” found near an East Main Street bar was turned into police around 11:15 am
- A caller reported seeing a person who “looks under 12” driving a Dodge Durango on North 11th Avenue near Main Street around 4:30 p.m. The caller said the driver “could barely see over the dash."
- A bull rider in Helena said a woman claiming he was suicidal is not his girlfriend, described her as a stalker and told a deputy he’s filing a protection order against her.
Once
upon a time, in a land known to many as Bozeman, there lived a beautiful mayor’s
wife who was the fairest of them all. But one was destined to surpass her, as
prophesied by the magical bathroom mirrors of a restaurant known as The Garage, and she was determined to kill the fair young lass. So, she hired the
most courageous bull rider from a town known as Helena to track this Snow White
down and put an end to her and her irritating good looks. The bull rider
located Snow White with the help of an extremely nosy investigative reporter
working for the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, even though said reporter had a
history of utterly muddling the correct facts as many employees at the
Chronicle tend to do, and snuck up on her with a murderous intent. Alas, the
bull rider was unable to kill Snow White because he had fallen in love with
her, and instead, ordered her to flee from the jealous mayor’s wife. He
murdered a local grizzly bear instead, for we all know how Bozemanites feel
about grizzlies and he didn’t think anyone would miss it. The bull rider cut
out the heart and lungs of this poor bear with the plan in mind to show them to
the mayor’s wife and claim they were, in fact, Snow White’s. In order to fully
cover up his tracts, the bull rider texted his reporter friend that he had hid
Snow White’s dead body and thanked him for his help, just in case the reporter
decided to blab to the mayor’s wife, for many Bozeman Chronicle reporters were
quite blabby indeed. Alas, the bull rider’s plan was thwarted by the magical
bathroom mirrors of The Garage, who informed the mayor’s wife that Snow White
was still alive and had taken up with a troupe of underground street-racing
dwarves. The mayor’s wife then attempted to disguise herself and murder Snow
White all on her own, but upon her arrival at the underground street-racing
dwarves’ house, she was recognized. The dwarves quickly stuck Snow White in their
nitrous-boosted Dodge Durango, and escaped down North 11th avenue,
causing many concerned stares from locals who mistakenly believed the
underground street-racing dwarves were, in fact, young children who could
barely see over the dashboard. The mayor’s wife, undiscouraged, came up with a
final plan to kill young Snow White. She would send the girl a poisoned I-Phone
4g, knowing such a popular and pretty young lady could not resist technology
that allowed her to access social networking sites everywhere she traveled.
Snow White was successfully tricked into picking up the poisoned I-phone, bled
all over it, and fell into a deep stupor due to extreme blood loss. The
underground street-racing dwarves placed her in a glass display case at the
local Museum of the Rockies, hoping true love’s kiss could reawaken her. The
head paleontologist at the Museum of the Rockies luckily had an affinity for
pretty young girls, even though he was quite old, and kissed the sleeping Snow
White, thus reawakening her. They married and lived happily ever after.
Meanwhile, the mayor’s wife divorced the mayor for she had become obsessed with
the bull rider from Helena. Because he was in love with Snow White, the mayor’s
ex-wife became infuriated and attempted to kill him and frame it as a suicide.
The courageous bull-rider successfully evaded her plot though, and filed a
restraining order against the obsessed mayor’s ex-wife. The End.
