DOUG ARP'S AT IT AGAIN
Doug Arp recently had some trouble remembering exactly how he last wired up an air conditioner to a Dumpster. It's been years since he's transformed a waste container into temporary housing, but the retired police officer said he'll figure it out by Tuesday - the day he'll climb in for a week-long stay.
"I'm really looking forward to it," Arp said. "It going to be a fun week."
A motorcade of police cruisers, fire engines and a garbage truck will escort Arp from the Warren County Jail to the Culkin Volunteer Fire Department station at noon to kick off Arp's stunt, aimed at raising awareness about National Night Out and crime prevention. He'll emerge from the Dumpster on National Night Out the next Tuesday, when neighbors across the country are encouraged to meet each other via grill outs and block parties.
When Arp retired from the Vicksburg Police Department in 2002 after 26 years, he also hung up his hat as the undisputed star of Vicksburg and Warren County's annual National Night Out events.
