SLABTOWN — Tammy ‘Two Bums’ Rogers has recanted her shocking taped confession to two counts of public flatulence in the produce section of a local supermarket. Rogers claims the confession was made “under duress.” She has retained local council and will plead ‘not guilty’ to the two charges leveled against her.
Slabtown, a sleepy town just east of Renfrew, Ontario, has been buzzing since the news quickly spread of Rogers’ arrest. In every coffee shop and hair salon, Rogers is the prime topic of conversation. But the public is sharply divided in their support of Rogers. There are those who see her as trouble:
“I knew she was trouble. She is odd. I mean, just seeing her at the beach, I knew there was something a little off about her,” says local optometrist and part time auctioneer, who has requested his name not be published (Jonathon Ross).
Then there are those who see Rogers as a victim: “She’s a victim. There’s no doubt. The whole think stinks. It smells of a setup. It smells like the whole case is rotten” says mechanic Richard Emmet.
Rogers remains out on bail and is due in court September 27th.
