We arrested this 23 year old blonde girl for dui. I am watching her on the monitor while the intoxilyzer machine warms up. She comes in crying, almost sobbing saying something about her boss. I think she said she was a baker and has been one for 5 years and that she is an amazing one. Then she boo hoo cries some more. Then I just about fell off my chair when she said her aunt died of cancer and she just broke up with a guy and more boo hoo crying. (I know that sounds heartless of me, but it was like it was ripped out of a Lifetime channel movie). It wasn't very convincing. Oh and mixed in there she said she didn't want the cuban sandwich. I am going to wager a bet that is what she went out to get before being pulled over.
She is pretty funny.

Crazy man, aisle 12
Our resident crazy man ( I really shouldn't say this, but he acts that way. Something like Agent Orange or other happened to him to make him paranoid) Anyway, he is always calling when he is off of his meds that he is patrolling the area and gives us reports of what is going on. We were really busy with a chick fight at Caddy's (I'll blog later on that) and I just didn't have the time to deal with him. So I said P.... I don't have time. He doesn't like to be told this because he feels he is working for us and started to yell and get cranky, so I did something I hadn't done before. I said I am working on a high security issue of the utmost importance right now. He said, got it bye! and hung up. You just have to know how to speak their language.
OOOHHH I am telling your motheeerrrrr
On a beach run (the officers do this periodically throughout the day) about 2am (the beach is closed from 1am-5am) the sergeant saw two people on the beach. He was just going to tell them that the beach was closed and to move along without getting out of the car, but the girl threw something. (not at the officer). The sergeant asked what she threw and she adamantly said nothing. He said, don't lie to me, what did you throw? She said, I don't know what you're talking about.
He gets out of his cruiser and I.D.'s them both. He is 18 and she is 15. It was a beer can that she threw. A Busch beer can, blech! She also finally admitted to drinking 3 shots. So the 18 year old gets a verbal warning for being on the beach and she gets to take a car ride to the pd. Mom is called, mom is a lawyer and is in total shock that her daughter is out of the house, let alone at a police station.
You should have seen this girl, she looked to be between 21-25 and that was just from her driver's license. The way she was dressed was unreal and that's coming from someone who used to dress with as little as possible when I had the shape for it.
Her mother came in and spoke with the sergeant. She said she is pretty strict and again was shocked that this was happening. The girl was brought out and lied to the mother saying she hadn't been drinking. Then of course she admitted to how much she actually drank. I was really surprised how calm the mother was. I wondered if she got smacked around as soon as they left the lobby.

Weird sex stuff part 2
An Amber Alert from Tennessee came through the teletype. It was quite long and had many players. First there is this scum bag piece of shit 51 year old man that kidnapped his girlfriend's 2 children, 3 and 4 year old boy and girl. But two days before he kidnapped them, he was in Missouri and kidnapped his 16 year old niece and her 3 month old daughter, who happens to be the scum bag's biological daughter.....okay, now if you're back from throwing up, realize where this came from, the south. I hope they find them and put his ass in jail.
Wierd sex stuff
This woman and her 20 year old son and others came into the lobby to make a harassment complaint. She lived in Gulfport and I asked where the harassment was happening and she said everywhere. I said, well, how is it happening. Her son found 2 dogs last week that belonged to a person in T.I. The dog owner was now going on facebook and saying this kid stole her dogs to get reward money and was having sex with her dogs.
There was a lost dog and then a recovered dog report made by her last week. With the recovered dog she apprarently showed the officer how they would have had sex with the dog. The dog's nipples were sore and had some sort of rug rash on her front paws. She also opened the dogs vagina to show that it was red and swollen. While the officer was there, the dog started rubbing her underside on the ground outside which would account for all the issues the dog was having.
I sent the woman and her son on their way and they were going back to Gulfport to make a harassment report. Then they will be going to civil court to try and get a restraining order on the woman. Sheesh!

The bats are out tonight!
After the last call that I just blogged, I get a call from a resident crazy person. She, unfortunately, is a doctor in the mental health area. She has a way of speaking that is a bit off putting. She kind of takes a breath between each word, making everything she says seem unnecessarily urgent.
Just to give you some background, she used to call and say there were two boats in the gulf (she lives on the beach) and that they were doing big drug transactions, like bringing in a boatload of drugs from Columbia or something. This went on for weeks, literally weeks. I finally sent out Officer Bock, whom she detests and she told me so when she called the 6th time for the same call. I said, well, he's the only one available, so too bad. He stood in back of her house on the beach and looked out. He could not see any boats in the area. He went to speak with her and said, "are you looking through a telescope?" She said, "why, yes I am." He said, "you are seeing boats that are about 250 miles away." She didn't like that and called me to tell me that she felt the officer was wrong.
So now you understand the type of person that we are dealing with. Today she calls up to say that there are suspicious people on the property next door. Again, with the breath in between each word making it sound like they are cat burglars or murderers. I hate to admit this, but they were actually trespassing on private property. The house is vacant and for sale, but they still aren't allowed on it. I think this was a first, she actually called in a good call. And she happened to like these officer's. You know I would have sent her Bock if I could, but he isn't here yet. :)

Get your tin foil hats
Whoo boy! This man calls up, totally unaffected and states that he just got home and there are several things that are misplaced in his house. He has a friend that is going through a messy divorce (I still don't know why he told me this because it didn't fit the rest of the call). He said that he hears voices in the attic. One of the guys is calling his friend right now. I said, okay, are you in or outside your house. He was inside and extremely calm. Usually men who call in burglaries are angry, women are usually scared, this whacko was laughing and saying, this isn't a life and death emergency. He did say that he called his mother and said, I don't know if I am crazy. BINGO!!! yes, yes you are whackadoodle.
He said the step stool was out of place and that when he went to look in the closet he heard a man run from the bedroom out the front door about 10 minutes ago. 10 minutes, really? I asked what he was wearing. Shocking response, "I don't know." I said, well, was he a white male, black male? He said, I didn't see him, only heard him and I think he was a hispanic male. I said, do you think there are still people up in your attic? He said no, but then changed it to, "there might be one more up there."
Well, we had 3 officers respond and as I perused through prior calls I noticed that he called in voices in his backyard just 3 nights ago. He was also a missing person last month, but we found him.
According to the officer he is not on meds for mental illness. HHHMMMMM, he may want to get evlauated soon.

Yummy Scooby Snacks
We had a dog bite to a child the other day. I don't know what this kid did, but I have been around a few black labs in my day and none of them were mean. I used to babysit small children and they had two labs. They could do anything to them and the dogs would just lay there.
This 7 year old kid was over with his parents I guess for a play date or something. The story I heard was the owner of the dog told the kid do not run up to the dog with your arms open and grab him. He said he could pet him, but not to do the other. Well, I guess the 7 year old did what he wasn't supposed to do and did it twice and the dog bit his lip/cheek combo. If that wasn't bad enough, I heard he took such a chunk out that it was very noticeable. It has to be grafted now because the dog ate the chunk he bit off. MMMM, doggie num nums.

Stupid Girls
Oh good grief! We arrest this 30 year old girl for dui tonight. I get a 911 call from another girl who is vacationing (this was very important because she probably told me she was on vacation about 5 times) and that her friend was arrested and the police said that if she didn't leave the beach then she would be arrested. I thought, hmmmm. I actually didn't think she was in our city because the officers didn't run a passenger. She told me her friend's name and I realized she was here, sigh.
She sounded normal enough...at first. I told her I would call her back on the non emergency line since it wasn't a life and death emergency. She said that the officers were so mean and flashing lights in her eyes. I said, were you trying to interfere in the investigation? She said, no no, I was trying to help. I said, okaayyy. I said, well, I wasn't there, but usually when they tell someone to leave or stop talking it's because they don't need your input or you are trying to interefere. She said, whatever, but I don't appreciate the corporal's attitude and I don't know this place. I said, do you want me to call a cab for you? She said, no. I said, well then what are you wanting me to do? Are you wanting to make a complaint? She said yes I do. I said, okay, but his sgt is on another call and it might be a few minutes. She said, that's okay. I watch a lot of t.v. and I see Russians...before she continued, I interrupted and said, ma'am, don't believe most of what you see on t.v. T.V. is not real life and you can't compare the two.
She wanted to know a ballpark time line for the sgt to either call or come out. I said we are very busy tonight and I can't give you a time. She said, not even ballpark, I said no. She said, well I will start my watch and time it. I said, you go right ahead. She asked for the sgt's name and I gave it to her. Then she wanted his badge number. When they start doing that I get very sarcastic, because one, you're f****ing drunk, two, you know you don't have anything to write this info down on and three, you are trying to intimidate me, but in fact, you are making yourself look like and asshole. I don't intimidate from some drunk schmuck on the phone. Anyway, then she asked me my name. She said, do you have a last name? I said in a very sing song voice, why yess I dooooo. She said, well what is it. I said I am the only Cherie here. She said what is your last name. Of course no one ever spells it correctly when I spell it for them slowly and they're not drunk. So I purposely said and spelled it very quickly, but she didn't even notice. Then she asked for my position and I said, dispatcher and began to spell it too :) then she asked for my badge number and I gave it to her. What an idiot.
About 30 minutes to an hour later I get another 911 call. I thought it was the same girl, but she told me she wasn't, she was another friend to pick up the first stupid girl. She wanted to pick up her friend and get her out of jail. I said, you can't and told her the process of what was to happen. She wasn't too happy about it.
Then she called, but on the non emergency line, finally. She wanted to get the girl's car out of impound. Sorry :) only the registered owner can get the car out. She didn't like that either. I got one more call asking again how to get her friend out of jail. Are you stupid? Oh yes, yes you are, I forgot for a second.
I found out that they had been in our parking lot the entire time until the transport van came to pick up their friend.

Kids, kids, kids
We had a father come in with his 17 year old son last week. A couple of weeks prior the son did something to irriate his father and the father told him he was not allowed in his house. The son lives with his mother at a different lcoation. Welllll, dad goes out of town for the weekend and comes home to find almost $10,000 missing from his safe.
I have to say the father is pretty smart because he went to the kid's school and used his key to go into his car and found all sorts of new merchandise paid for in cash. Of course the kid said it was his friends. The father moved the vehicle to another location and then spoke to him before taking him to the pd.
We may never know who took that money. That is a lot of cash to be missing OUCH!

Sex on the Beach isn't just a drink anymore
Well, the patrons and employees of Caddy's which is a waterfront restaurant/bar where families go to eat, drink and play on the beach, had a show with their meals today. I received the first call from a patron/resident that said two people were on the beach "making love." This is how I actually dispatched the call. Aww, it sounds so sweet and innocent. The next call I received was from one of the managers that said there were people having sex, you know, doing the wild thing on the beach. I already had the units (police units, that is) on the way there. In the mean time I was trying to adjust the cameras that are down on the beach to find this "romantic" or "horny" couple. I actually saw them, but I didn't realize it at the time. Now, no It's not because I don't know what that looks like, it's just I was expecting missionary style, guy on top, etc. I was thinking this mainly because it was 7:21 pm and still really daylight out with children around, not to mention about 60 people outside eating. Wellllll, apparently that's what he was doing too. He had a shirt over his head to conceal what he was doing. However, she had her legs up (this was told to me afterward, I didn't actually witness that part).
I really hope it was the best sex they ever had because they are both being slapped with felonies for lewd and lascivious in front of children.
While they were both in the tank (our holding cells) we had a guy threatening on of the hotel maintenance men. He was a Marchman Act. Those of you who don't know what that is, it's a person who is so far intoxicated that they can not care for themselves. We take them to the county jail to be placed in the drunk tank. He apparently crapped and pissed himself. He also got to ride with the other 2 in the sheriff's transport van. That must have smelled good.
The girl from the sex on the beach was on the bottom of the van some how and put her legs up so that her crotch faced the camera. She had taken off her bottoms to her bathing suit while in our cell and shoved them in the toilet, so she went to jail without skivvies.
Her grandfather came in to ask what happened and her father called on the phone. The officer was very diplomatic saying that she was arrested for L & L but wouldn't elaborate. How embarassing for them.

Themes
In this politically correct era, which I think is such a load of CRAP! There are stereotypes and or themes. There are theme nights and theme people. I used to have theme nights more often when I worked for St Pete PD, but we have them here too.
Here are a couple of examples of the people.
Women, blonde and over 40 that get arrested. They come in angry and are placed in the cell. They yell, use horrible profanity and tell the male officers that they are either pigs, or need to get laid. Then they start the crying. Sobbing in fact. Then they get quiet and then they get nasty again, hitting the door of the cell.
White males late teens to 30 years of age. Usually skinny or lean and muscular. Generally don't have on shirts when arrested but have many tattoos. They seem okay when brought in, but once they are unhandcuffed and placed in the cell, it's like satan has entered into them and they go berserk. Some will do the donkey kick on the door with bare feet. Others will hit it with their heads and hands. This actually hurts me to watch and listen too. I have audio and visual from my office and it echoes when they do it. I'm surprised that none of them have knocked themselves out. One almost did, but he fell onto the sink and bounced back up.
Black males in the drug areas (south St Pete) wear what we called the uniform. They either had dreds or a do rag, white wife beater shirt (tank shirt, used to be known as a guinney t) and long shorts, either jean or black, socks and sneakers or socks and slides.
As far as the themed nights, those are really strange. Like I said, I had more of them in St Pete, but we do have them here too. We will have a night of all dui's or domestic batteries, etc.

No cruisers in the parking lot = slammed
Well, I overslept but actually made it to work on time with time to spare. I can't believe I missed both of my alarms. At least I got some good sleep.
When I got to work there were no cruisers in the parking lot and that is usually an indication that it's busy. At the very least one cruiser is there with the Sgt doing paperwork, but they were ALL gone.
I got in and it took about 10 minutes for the other dispatcher to be able to get up so I could get in. Of course we had two 911 calls come in while I was waiting to sit down.
Stupidly I heated up my "breakfast" which consisted of roasted country ribs and chicken with potatoes, carrots and onions. I had to heat it up 2 times because we had two calls going on with lots of x29p's which is a warrant check for a person. After about an hour and a half I finally finished the meal.
We had a woman hit her boyfriend with a table. Her criminal history was from 3 states and I needed a fork lift to pick it up off of the printer. She was in the cell crying to someone on the phone. I am like, really? You've been arrested over 100 times and you're crying? Interestingly enough, she had never been arrested for battery, so it was a misdemeanor not a felony.
The other call they were on was a fight (that was from the two 911 calls). Lots of people to run.
We arrested on both calls. The guy who hit the other guy got a little squirrely and then of course started kicking the cell door. Typical, skinny white male about 22 years old, no shirt and big attitude.
Since then we had a missing woman who showed up before we arrived, which almost always happens here. A car alarm that was sounding off for about half an hour that went off before we got there, but came back on while we were there. That happens a lot too. A drunk male sleeping at a pool and a drunk female that was trying to lay down in the street when our complainant called.
Now, we have this sniveling female who was arrested for dui stating that she can not believe that she was being arrested when she was only 100 feet from her residence. She said, I could see you arresting someone that was a low life, but not me. Okay then. Now she is asking for our most popular officer that puts the make on any female around. She is saying, please call him, please call him. She is going to call him to make sure that he knows that what's happening to her is just wrong. *stomps foot*
We are half way through our shift. I may have more stuff later.

A drunk male sleeping at a pool and a drunk female that was trying to lay down in the street when our complainant called.
Now, we have this sniveling female who was arrested for dui stating that she can not believe that she was being arrested when she was only 100 feet from her residence. She said, I could see you arresting someone that was a low life, but not me. Okay then. Now she is asking for our most popular officer that puts the make on any female around. She is saying, please call him, please call him. She is going to call him to make sure that he knows that what's happening to her is just wrong. *stomps foot*
We are half way through our shift. I may have more stuff later.

Transients galore
Good grief with the tranisents tonight. In an hour period we had 3 calls at 2 hotels and 1 bar about tranisents bothering customers. Actually at the bar he was asleep in a little cubby behind the bar. One transient was at all 3 places. He is such a little scuzzball. He's only a year older than I am but looks about 65 or 70. I've met some of the other transients who are pretty nice. scuzzball has a "wife" who is a female tranisent that he bangs down. She is 10 years older than him and was gone for a couple of months. She was trying to clean up her act, but she's back as of today. When she was gone, scuzzball was a nasty s.o.b. but now that his main squeeze is back, when they aren't fighting, he should be very content.

HEeeeerrreee We Gooooo!!!!!
I didn't think it would take me this long to post something, but I wanted it pretty fresh in my mind. I wish I had thought of this before Memorial Day because that weekend had a lot of good stories. Trouble is I can't remember them right now. This last weekend however has given me some good material. So hold on, 'cause here we will go....
Let me just tell you for future reference that everytime I go into work, I spray it down with Lysol spray and then use a Clorox wipe to finish it off. I do this not because I am a germ freak, but we eat at the console, put our feet up and whatever else. In our department dispatchers work one at a time, which is different from larger departments like St Pete (my former job) where they have 4 dispatchers on and 2-11 call takers on at one time.
That said, I didn't get to finsish cleaning my console and didn't get my eye glasses on before it was busy. It took me about 30 minutes until I got my glasses on.
My first call was a man that was hystercial and said a guy in a vehicle tried to run him down on the beach. I had one officer go to that and then it happened. All hell broke loose. First the Sgt that was on Sunset Beach asked me to call for a boat because there were reckless wave runner's in the swim zone. That sounds easy enough, but I had to call the Sheriff's office first and they didn't have one, then had to call FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife) and it takes time.
Right after he asked me to do that he said that there was a fight on the beach and he needed a couple of units. That turned into a couple of more units and call other agencies to send units. There were about 500 people at a rap party and it was getting out of control. I called St Pete Beach and they were just about to send someone when they had a stabbing, so they couldn't come. I had already called PCSO (Pinellas County Sheriff's Office) and requested 2 units so I called back to request 2 more. After all was said and done those units called for more and we had 14 PCSO deputies and 7 of our officers at this event. The fight dissapted on its own and the officer's were able to guide the people out of Sunset Beach without anyone being arrested or hurt.
During this time which was just over an hour I had to monitor the main radio channel and LE1 which is a channel where our officer's and the deputies could communicate on the same frequency. I also had to do my regular stuff, answer the phones, write on my log of things going on and enter information into the computer. And run people and tags if needed. I still had the one officer patrolling the rest of the city. I had a few phone calls telling me how the officer's should be doing their jobs. One man in particular was really annoyed that one of the officers was just filming the crowd and not "doing" enough. He did for documentation purposes to show how big the crowd was and their demeanor. I actually kept my cool for the most part but was very and I mean very firm. I said sir, the officer's are trained to do their job and I trust their judgement. I am not at the scene so I can't determine what is right or wrong and I am not trained like they are and neither are you. He said, "I think..." I cut him off and said sir, everyone has an opinion, let the officers do their job. If you have a problem with how they do their job or you want information as to why they did things the way they did, call the chief of police in the morning. He kept trying to tell me what he thought and I finally beat him down to where he said, alright I'll call the chief. Don't call me when you know there's crap going on and tell me what you think, because I really couldn't give a damn what you think! My main concern is, are my officer's safe and then is the public safe!

New Blog
I don't know why this just came to mind tonight, but I try to write on facebook about what happens at work because it's free entertainment. You just can't find this type of thing in other workplaces.
I will be using this blog to tell about our days at my police department. I of course wont use names to protect the insanely stupid, but I will give accounts of goings on.
I hope you enjoy it.
one adam twelve, one adam twelve. See the man...
