Former RCMP Sergeant Charlie Scheideman, author of "Policing the
Fringe: The Curious Life of a Small-Town Mountie," is back with the
same wry humour and a new collection of incredible stories drawn
from his twenty-seven years of patrolling the small communities of
the interior of British Columbia.
These new adventures have him re-polishing his boots and relaying
untold tales, such as the lone officer who takes on three legendary
hard-fighting drunks, earning him the respect of the citizens of
Prince George including the louts he single-handedly flattened. An
escape from a youth detention centre takes a troubled young man to
new heights--in a stolen airplane--that he narrowly survives after
crashing into a mountainside. Here too are stories conveying the
sad truth and tragic consequences of all-too-common alcohol abuse,
such as when an innocent man survives an alcohol-induced
multi-vehicle accident on Jackass Mountain--twice--only to be taken
by a determined Grim Reaper as he aids another motorist. Scheideman
illustrates that "fate looks after some of us" in another story
where the extremely drunk driver and passengers of a violent single
car accident miraculously survive.
The strangest things seem to happen in isolated towns, and
Scheideman's latest assortment of intriguing tales recounts more of
his experiences from the absurd to tragic. This new collection
leaves the reader with renewed admiration and wonder for the men
and women who uphold the law in some of BC's more lawless regions.
