Terrorism or Prank @ Walmart?

[roadranger]

Oconee Sherriff responded to a call about a suspicious package at Murphy's, a fueling station at the local Walmart this morning. A Deputy confirmed that a book bag was glued to a pump, seemed suspicious to him and asked the dispatcher to confirm the situation as such. At the confusion of said dispatcher, she repeated the message, then other officers spoke consideration of aiding in the unusual event. Eventually, the fire department was invited, only to shortly be sent away again because the problem was "remedied" and the situation was no longer an issue. Stupid prank held up a real call, such as a power line down a few miles away.

That's considered "interesting stuff" in Athens GA?

Better than a shooting. At least for those involved.

It beats posting all of the "I've fallen, and I can't get up" calls that I hear. There aren't as much interesting calls in such a small college town.

Unless it's gameday.

Here in colorado, we had a "bomb threat" at a wal-mart here. turned out to be a group of teens that got into an argument with an employee and just said it without thinking. They left the store and loitered at the king-soopers across the street where all 5 were arrested. Lawl

And somehow, through my twisted mind, find these things entertaining as long as no one actually gets hurt.
