Sheriff's Report

So hubby and I were sitting at lunch today. I was reading the weekly local paper. I came across the Sheriff's report from 6/11 to 6/28.

Let me tell you, we had a few hoots and hollers about it. So I thought I just have to share some of the entries. Now folks, you can't get better than this. Small town Montana emergency calls.

I'll skip some in interest of space.

Here we go:

*Hang up
*Fire reported at Gage and Allen Road
*Male found in a ditch and was initially not responding to verbal cues
*Caller updating on the condition of the man in the ditch
*Child playing with the phone
*Two 911 calls regarding dogs on the highway near the Liberty Gas station
*Pocket dial
*Male called to report a cow on the road
*Female called to advise that a male committed suicide in her yard
*Female called back asking about clean up from the previous call
*Male called, unhappy with the citations he received on a traffic stop
*Caller reported a calf near the road - the owner was notified
*Caller advised of horses on the road - the owner was notified
*Caller advised of a vehicle on the side of the road
*Caller reported a cow walking down the highway - the owners were notified
*Caller reported a possible intoxicated male that fell into the road - Montana Highway Patrol responded
*The call dropped, it was regarding the previously mentioned male in the road
*Male requested an office to his home, possible prowler
*Same male requested that the officer return to discuss possible entry zones the prowler could use

You can't make this stuff up. Good ideas for stories.

You're welcome.
