You can run from the police, but you always get caught in the end.

Local PD officer responding to a vehicle break-in...

Officer: Paul 23 to Dispatch
Dispatch: Go ahead
Officer: Could you send an additional unit to this location? One of the suspects who broke in fell asleep in the front seat.
Dispatch (with laughter in her voice): Fell asleep in the front seat. 10-4. Additional unit will be enroute.
Dispatch sends another unit to the scene.

Kind of an incompetent burglar, if you ask me. LOL. :D

One from about a month ago after a 737 had to make an emergency landing after possible landing gear trouble. It landed fine but they had an issue towing it back to the gate. Someone(airport opps. or fire) was going on about why they can't fine an easier way to do it or some such thing. Some else came on and said..".I don't know. You'll have to talk to the Wright Brothers".

Reminds me of a call recently, horse with saddle/equipment but no rider loose. LEO responds, after about 20 mins of trying to locate and catch said horse finally remarks to start looking for a possible rider... Id think thad be the first priority, to figure out who got knocked off. Assume otherwise theyd be chasing the horse.

Both Saturday and Sunday this local Fire Department has been dispatched to people stuck on the roof.

I know that yesterday they said that tbe son in laws ladder fell. Don't know what happen today, but could have blew over with winds today.

Not the kind of weather to do it today with high winds and cold temperatures, but people are most likely putting up holiday lights.

Yesterday I heard a fire engine being dispatched on one of the adjacent counties' numerous fire frequencies. Nothing humorous, but the dispatcher acknowledged Engine 451. She even pronounced it engine four five one.

I just hope it wasn't a fire in "Books A Million"...

A Pope County (Arkansas) sheriff's deputy was dispatched this afternoon to deal with a complaint from a woman about a neighbor's pet turkey. The turkey was "harassing" her and she was afraid to get out of the car.
