We're the Only Ones in Training

A trainee from the Montana Law Enforcement Academy was picked up by a Lewis and Clark County Sheriff’s deputy early Tuesday on charges including drinking and driving, and possession of marijuana.

And when we become real Only Ones, we want to bust you for doing the same thing...

Thanks for this story to Charles Baker, who notes:

One of the things about the MLEA, trainees are almost always already working for a police or sheriff's department. The department pays to send them to the academy after they have shown they are a good fit for the job. While there are "pre-service" students at the academy, they are the exception rather than the rule. As such, although the paper doesn't mention it, this guy is probably already working for some law enforcement agency.

That wouldn't surprise me one bit, Mr. Baker.
