As you can see Lieutenant Sargent and Officer Roche were pretty excited about that, as were the rest of us. When asked if she would take a photo with us, Paige asked if the photo could be in the jail cells, which as you can see here happened. So technically she did get out of jail free today. Thank you Paige for stopping by, your visit certainly brightened our day!”
