"Arrested and currently being dealt with for a host of offences."
"It would be ridiculous that crews were tied up most of the afternoon dealing with this if it was a normal day, but even worse in the current circumstances.
"When we ask 'Where are your kids?' If the answer is 'Cruisin round the felt in a 2 litre Jetta' then you really need to do something about it."
