Officer Andy Foster is 38 years old and Athens Police Department badge 15. Over the course of a few shifts, I had the opportunity to follow Officer Foster around and see the kinds of things he deals with everyday; and some of the things we saw and had to take care of were not everyday scenarios. Many people have a jaded view of the police in Athens, Ohio. These men and women have better and more important things to do then bust college kids for underage drinking; opiod addictions run high in this county.
Officer Foster found Nicholas Sheballey's stolen painting, kicked a domestic disturbant off of Sheltering Arm's property manager Shannon Postel's property, had Joe Sinclair and Jerry from Curtis Towing tow an abandoned truck in Lowes parking lot, kicked Sherry Triplett out of Walmart because she had been banned for shoplifting, and tried to check on a resident of 4 Ellis street when his roommate Collin Black came into the hospital beat up with bloody knuckles.
