Police Blotter: Bothering Ex was Man's Idea of a Happy Holiday

A South Stonehaven Drive woman reported receiving strange Internet messages from her sons and daughters, who were staying with their father.

The woman called back later and said her ex-husband was sending text messages saying, "Happy Thanksgiving."
