Whoa! Better you than me, sister. There’s no way I could have done all that today. The ritual sacrifice would have worn me right out. I would have needed a nap after that.
Also, I thought you were making a finger puppet _for_ the police officer, not a finger puppet _of_ a police officer. I was going to say that I’ve never heard of gift puppets working as bribes where ritual sacrifice is the crime, but anything’s worth a shot, I suppose…
I hope you get a good night’s sleep!

I don’t think a gift puppet would work. After a ritual sacrifice he might have thought it was a voodoo doll then added attempted assualt on an officer to the charges.
