The chief states on social media to criminals in Arnaudville that when his department apprehends those doing wrong, it takes up a lot of their time with paperwork, and no one likes doing a lot of paperwork. Therefore, he hopes that those who are doing wrong will find a hobby, so that he and his officers are not stuck in an office documenting those arrested.
