‘I told the officers when they came that she didn’t steal anything,’ he said. ‘I asked the officers why they were grinning and they said that no matter how they write the report, it’s going to say the mayor locked a woman in his house,.’
The mayor described the woman as being in her 20s and having long brown hair.
The Bowling Green police are asking anyone with information about the woman, to contact them.
