In case you didn't hear, missing 11-year-old Caitlyn Virts and her father were found at the Colonial Inn in Florence, SC after the motel owner recognized them from Facebook. Also, rooms at the Colonial Inn are $36 night.*

Liars, liars, pants afire: The Sun's Luke Broadwater and Scott Calvert obtained more city documents re. Brekford's speed cameras,* proving yet again that officials were lying liars when they said Brekford's contact was ended because of problems with one camera and a misprint of the company's mailing address. In other news, the Brew reports that after 14 years Scott Calvert is leaving the Sun for the Wall Street Journal.

Those Ravens just can't stay out of trouble! Now an offensive lineman, Jah Reid, was arrested for being offensive at a Florida strip club.
