The report of a call for help from sheriffs deputies on Saturday is one of those you just know there's more to the story. Here's how it's reported: David Lee Jennings, who has a history with law enforcement, says he was walking down Highway 115 near Speedway Road Friday morning, and someone stopped and offered him a ride. He was only too happy to jump in. But no sooner was he in the car than the back seat passenger, who he says was a white male, clocked him with something, knocking him out.



Jennings says he came to in the wooded area behind the Shell Station on old 60, and 25-bucks was missing from his wallet. He admitted he had been drinking on Friday, but did not explain why he'd waited a day to report the alleged assault and theft. Paramedics who were called to check him out found nothing serious wrong. Interestingly, the crime report ended with Jennings being hauled off to jail. Seems there was an outstanding jail sentence he hadn't served. So he'll spend the month of April drying out in the pokey.
