This Day in History: 1952-12-24

The police reported a relatively quiet Christmas Eve. C.W. Thyberg reported that two small evergreen trees had been cut and stolen from his yard. A stray shot from a 22 rifle penetrated the window of the Community Shoppe. It was presumed that someone has been target shooting in the field opposite. None of the neighbors remember anyone shooting that afternoon. A New York State man was arrested for possession of indecent pictures. Since he could not make bail, he spent his Christmas in the County Jail, awaiting hearing before Judge Reeves of the Criminal Court in Hackensack.(Bristow)
