There's a beating in the tunnel...

Yup, she called again last night. Twice, actually. Then she must have fallen asleep or the beatings finally stopped. Somebody needs to beat her. I wonder what's with her and the tunnel anyway? WHAT DAMN TUNNEL?!?!?!?!

I just conveniently ignored her - I was too busy to deal with her. There were real emergency calls going on at the time. Well, not necessarily emergencies, but there were calls that actually had some sort of a purpose.

It was definitely the calm before the storm - last night was NUTS. Two accidents - one of which had somebody complaining of back pain so they went to the hospital.

OH - how could I forget the crazy call I got maybe 20 minutes into the shift?! Another PD from NOT NEARBY called us saying they got a call from someone in their department about a man armed with two knives threatening to harm himself and possibly others in the residence. Just what I wanted to hear 20 minutes in on the last day of my rotation. Turns out he didn't want to harm others, only himself... because he got pissed off about something stupid. The guys on scene had me call out the squad for a mental health transport. About an hour later the hospital called bitching that we brought a homicidal person to them.

SAY WHAT?! Um, no. He wasn't threatening the life of anybody but himself. Stop your baby whining and evaluate the moron. Better yet, just throw him in the happy hut with padded walls, he'll be fine after a few hours (or years).

Other than that, the same old noise complaints, abandoned 911 calls, beatings in the tunnel... you know, the normal.

That's about all I really have right now... more to come soon.

Calm before the storm

With an almost full moon and the weather being so nice, it really wasn't that crazy.

The usual few traffic stops, bars weren't busy, a noise complaint or two...oh, and the crazy bitch called again.

She called about something at the start of the shift, but I conveniently forgot about it. Then she called again at around 3 AM complaining that there's somebody teaching somebody how to kill an animal near her house. Of course, when the cops got there, it was dead silent and nobody was outside.

Maybe that's just the calm before the storm. It's still pretty nice out now. Also being a Saturday night, I can only imagine what's in store. Hopefully it's not too nuts, I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.

Until next time,

I'll be out teaching somebody how to kill animals

The Freeholder is out of jail...

Yes, the crazy old woman is at it again.

She called last night to tell me the Freeholder (that she apparently doesn't like) must have gotten out of jail... and she's asking me why we let him out.

Same caller as the post called There's a fire in the tunnel. It was the freeholder trying to sell her house in that one, too.

Anyway, she said he's out there with a group of people and she heard him say there's going to be a killing tonight. Then she advises me that if there's a murder, we should really look at him as a suspect. As I try to get more information (or keep her going solely for amusement) she just hangs up on me. Damn. That could have been a good one.

I told the Sgt. who happened to be right there entering his tickets. He kinda laughed, got a bit pissed off that she called twice already, and pretty much forgot all about it.

Thankfully we got through the night with no murders. The old bitch finally went back to sleep. Bars were quiet. Roads were empty. Other than a first aid call and a few parking problems, maybe a traffic stop or two, I just sat back, put my feet up on the desk, watched TV for a few hours, and dealt with the chest pain until I could go home and sleep.

Now I just get to look forward to tonight. I think it's great that it's Friday night and it looks like a pretty full moon. Tonight should go SO well. (With extra sarcasm!)

Speaking of, I need to go get uniformed and get my ass out the door.

Until next time,

Clear and unavailable
