This is some good-guy-gregging, certainly:

He’s not sure who they belong to but he’s willing to feed them until someone claims them.

But this:

A Libby woman called 911 because her neighbor’s cat has been eating her cat’s food for the last two months.

Is just funny.

I wish my local law enforcement published a log like this. I can only imagine the chicanery that goes on around here on the 911 lines. We’re in a similarly rural area, and based on what I see on my daily commute, I can imagine some entertaining calls.

Sounds like the start of Far C ry 5...

There was a guy that ran through the stop sign at an intersection near my house every morning. He didn’t just roll through it, he was speeding and never even slowed down for it. I was worried that I would be running a bit early one day and he a bit late and we’d meet in the middle of that intersection.

So, I called the Sheriff’s office and put them on the hunt. I didn’t see when they caught him, but I did notice that he stopped running the sign.

I once pocket dialed 911 from a roller coaster at Busch Gardens. I guess there’s an iPhone setting where you hold two buttons down and it’ll call. 911 called back and told me to please turn that off.

It can’t be fun getting constant phone calls of people screaming and having to determine if they’re fun screams or horrified screams.

I did something similar about a motorcyclist who kept speeding in the oncoming lanes on a county road with double yellows. A couple days later, the motor patrol captain emailed me to say they got him with a citation and I saw a group of them out by the spot I had marked on the map for them.

For twelve hours, all was right with the world.

Eh, there's not much they're going to be able to do for it besides put it out of its misery. And by the time they get out there, it'll probably be to late for even that.

When I was little, maybe 6, the cows from a neighboring farm got loose and jogged in a pack down my street. I was terrified and ran into a nearby neighborhood house until they were corralled. So thanks for that shot of PTSD.

Also, the real story is what kind of organization is forming in Hungry Horse!

Well that man was not very committed to feeding them, was he? Only 9 minutes elapsed.

I always thought it was a good feature so you could call if you can’t use the touch screen or speak or something. It’s the power button and either one of the volume buttons - hold until the screen changes, then use the slider, or continue holding to call. To do it accidentally requires at least 15 continuous seconds of holding them down before it calls (after making a noise that it’s going to do it).

That’s why Ive always said we should adopt the UK number (0118-999-881-99-9119-7253), basically impossible to dial accidentally

I suspect our local one would all be drug related offenses. :(

Not so long ago this would have landed a person in social exclusion should it get around.

Yeah. Apparently wearing a chest harness on a roller coaster with a phone in your coat pocket will do it nicely. Sounds like it happens to this particular dispatch a lot!

“I know a place where we can find some real food. Never mind this mush!”

I laughed so hard. But you know what happens after the bliss.
