Here's a look at the stories keeping our reporters busy Thursday: * A man with a history of troubling episodes while drunk on Four Loko is done messing around with the potent malt liquor, he says. "In 2008, the first day they came out, I drank 10 of them. That was no good," he told a judge. Julye Wemple has more on what the suspect had to say about his troubles. * A man who says he was pistol-whipped in an attempted robbery near BU now says he went to the place that night to buy pot. Leon Bogdan has the story. * Police officers in one local community are now subject to random drug and alcohol testing, and other municipalities may follow its lead. Mike Lester reports. * About 30 percent of a juvenile jail's 178 workers suffered on-the-job injuries last year. Those numbers coincide with a reported increase in attacks on staff. Chris Krepich has more on the story. * Plus, a local gas station and convenience store is looking to offset its energy costs with solar panels. Read these stories and more in Friday's edition of the Press Enterprise.
