Local Incident

After going outside, the off-duty patrolman said he heard someone yell, “Are you (expletive) retarded? Get me the (expletive) mop.”

 

Patrolman Gilman said he then yelled, “Watch your mouth,” because there were children in the neighborhood, to which the person replied “(Expletive) off.”
