Nothing Like Being Drunk

It starts out with 911 ringing. If you have never heard a 911 phone ring, it sounds like a freaking siren. And the part timer working with me keeps jumping when it goes off, it's making me laugh. She's a good sport about it though.

The caller tells me that someone is trying to get into his front door and his garage. Not a problem, I get to tone it out as an attempted home invasion and my officers get to fly across town. The caller continues to tell me that he could smell the alcoholic beverages and the suspect must be very intoxicated. After giving a fairly good description of the suspect, the first officer arrived a minute after the call went out and they were unable to locate the intoxicated subject. Eight minutes later, I received another 911 call from a woman who was frantic because there was an intoxicated man inside her house. She was locked in her child's room and lived just down the street from the first caller. So the officers charge into her house like the Calvary to save the day! Did I mention the bad guy was intoxicated? He was tased for not compiling to verbal commands and trying to run away again. Needless to say, he was arrested for several things and spent the night in jail.

Next time you feel like having a great night, make sure it doesn't end this way...
