Subject: RE: BS: Funny Police Reports in your home town
* Two men and "an unfriendly dog" were spinning around in a vehicle in a field off Harper Puckett Road around 2 a.m. They were on their own property and the men were working on the vehicle trying to get running.

* A plane was "flying low and spraying stuff" near a subdivision off U.S. Highway 191 around 8:30 a.m.

* * Farmers flagged down a deputy saying they were concerned about tall grass at the intersection of Baxter and Love lanes causing sightline issues for traffic.

* Deputies spoke with a small child after a 911 hang up call was received from her home and a dispatcher said she was "very evasive" when he spoke with her. The deputies explained why they came to her house and how they respond to 911 hang up calls.

* A caller said a person driving a 26-foot box truck told him at a Huffine Lane gas station that they had 15 undocumented workers in the back of it.

* A woman received several strange telephone calls from a man who said her "boss told him to call her about hair modeling" and that he wanted to hire her to wash his wife's hair three times a week for the next two months.

* A man almost struck a construction worker on Interstate 90 when he swerved off the road to avoid hitting another vehicle that had slammed on the brakes and kicked up gravel in a construction zone around 5 p.m. The driver who had slammed on the brakes passed the caller at about 100 mph. The erratic driver was cited and released.

* A woman said her neighbors stole "hundreds of dollars of wood" from her property.

* Around 9 p.m., a man asked authorities to contact his wife who was waiting for him at Swan Creek Campground after he determined that he and his 15-year-old son were not going to make it back to the vehicle that night. They were at the top of Hyalite Peak on bicycles and did not need help but just wanted his wife, who did not have a cell phone, to know they were OK and would make their way out in the morning.

* A woman and some men were screaming somewhere near Stucky Road around 11:30 p.m. The woman was screaming, "Get it out of here," the caller said.
