Moments of Lucidity

                         THE COP SHOP


Denton Police Officer Chris Plank apprehended two scofflaws Friday who set off a burglar alarm while trying to break into their mother's house.
Lindsey DeBord, left in photo, and Krystal Land, right,  were setting up a surprise birthday party for their mother, Sherry DeBorde (no that is not a typo. Lindsey DeBorde married Zack DeBord and took the "e" off her name.), and decided they needed family photos to decorate for the shindig. They knew Sherry was in Fort Worth so they sneaked into Robson Ranch and parked in front of Sherry's house.
They found the back door unlocked, so they made their illegal entrance. Lights flashed, sirens screamed and the ladies knew they were busted.
Plank roared up in his squad car with his cuffs at the ready. But the crafty ladies were able to talk their way out of trouble.
"We thought Mom never set the burglar alarm," Lindsey explained, and the officer bought the story.  Plank even escorted them back into the house to find the photos.
The party was a success.
