At Saturday's meeting of the HPP Neighborhood Watch, our Community Policing Officer informed us that the story about a trespassing arrest was indeed true. It seems a census worker was looking into the windows of a residence and refused to leave when the resident asked him. The census worker became belligerent, and the resident, who happened to be a police officer, called for some other cops to come remove the person. The worker was still there when the other cops arrived and proceeded to argue with them to the effect that he was government worker and could be there if he pleased. Census person got arrested and taken to the cell block. If a census worker was shot at, no police report was made, according to our CPO.
