onStarting with our latest issue, Stranger news reporter Angela Valdez has taken over the Police Beat column.
A standing ovation is in order for the fantastic Charles Mudede, who decided to stop writing the column after an 8-year run.
Mudede fans, however, should give Valdez’s first installment a read. The story of the drunk young women who told Valdez they started out the evening with the goal of getting “kicked out of a bar,” but then, as the police report shows, ended up in the slammer for attacking a Nordstrom planter display, is a total freak show.

Thank god.
I WILL MISS IT VERY MUCH!!!!!!
Will Charles have a new column or an expanded role elsewhere? He's not going anywhere is he?!
He's going to motherfucking hollywood isn't he?
police beat, as penned by charles mudede, is right alongside last days and a critical overview on the list of The Best Things Ever To Appear In The Stranger On A Weekly Basis.
i will miss mr. mudede's poetic crime reporting, although angela is off to a fine start, even with the glaring neighborhood error.
i still think you need to bring back charlie chong and his shambling mummy ways.
Thanks Charles, it's been a pleasure reading your Police Beat's over the years. Congrats! And best of luck with everything you're working on currently.
CM has an interesting perspective on crime, but it'll be nice to have a new view. The "dirt-handed" story was pretty funny!
