A Question for the guys in blue

[dano]

What was one of your worst calls you had to go on?

What was more of the funnier ones?

Worst call I had was the deceased body that sat in an un-airconditioned home for 7 days in the heat of a Texas summer. I'll NEVER forget that one. I can't describe the horror.

The funniest I had was the crazy nut that thought UFO's were zapping a chip in his head. I told him to put aluminum foil on his head to block the waves. That was several years ago and I hear he still wears it. http://www.3rdgen.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

Dragging the CT River for my best friends body.

The funniest was responding to a complaint regarding a Jetski. What I found was a guy on a snowmobile blasting from one shore to the other across the lake.

When I was a fulltimer, the only thing bad was a dead body...but it was a natural death.

The funniest thing was when I was on regular patrol, our Drug Task Force busted into this dude's house and the guy started to run through a dirt field with bushes and shrubs. They asked for a marked unit to look for this guy and I was in the area. I asked for the description and they said, "White male, naked." I confirmed the description as "naked" and they said "naked". So at this point, I was driving around looking for a naked guy running around in the streets. Then within 30 seconds, they said they have him in custody. So I drove to where they were and I see this naked guy face down and handcuffed. I wondered how they caught this dude and I looked at his right calf and there's a twig stuck in his leg. So THAT's why he stopped running http://www.3rdgen.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

what lake was this? about5-7 years ago i was at my dads house on a lake in Conn. , i saw a guy blast from oneside of the lake and back, skipping over the water on a snowmobile! i thought it was pretty intresting. what did he get busted for anyway? Noise? Wake? public display of stupidity?

well, obviously i could write a book on all the things i've seen and done.

worst....well, bodies are always bad, especially when you find them in an apartment after 2 weeks, but i'd have to say dealing with a kid that's been severly beaten and sexually assaulted. i didn't like doing that report. or the girl that got hit on her bicycle by a hit and run drunk driver one morning on her way to school.

funniest...i have so many, but one that sticks out as a recent event; kid flags me down frantically in the middle of the night on the side of the road. i pull in and i see this gruesome sight. he had hit a cat a few miles up and his buddy that had been following noticed it still under his truck. now it was about 15 feet long. one of the leg bones got stuck in between the leaf springs and the intestines was holding the back end together with the front part. i had to summon a few co-workers to 'observe the incident'. we were all trying hard not to laugh because the guy felt really bad. after a while i could hold it in no longer and just started crying from the laughter. besides spelling fart sounds over the mdc, the laughs keep coming.....i stopped a kid with a 'bad cop, no donut' sticker on his car. after i wrote him the ticket i non-chalantly said 'bad driver, no warnings'.

The snowmobile was last year here in downtown eastern Connecticut.
