More Police Files

[emmitt01]

So, here are a few of the "gems" that they lovely people of Dallas have called in to 9-1-1 recently.

From yesterday...

A woman called in to report that while she was at the Dallas Zoo with her church group her vehicle was broken into. After 20 whole minutes she called back to inquire why officers weren't there yet. When it was explained that calls are dispatched in order of priority and that this area has a high call load her response was as follows. "What am I supposed to do?!! It's beginning to get dark and there are a lot of black people out here!" Yep. That's what she said.

A woman called in to report that her husband came home drunk and feeling a bit frisky. The woman, who was already asleep in bed with their toddler, refused his drunken advances. So, doing what any man would OBVIOUSLY do after his attempts at making sweet love are rebuffed, the man stood up on the bed and.......peed on his wife and child.

From today...

A woman from far North Dallas called in to report that her vehicle had been stolen from the Kroger near her house. Since she did not know her license plate or VIN she was told by the call taker that we couldn't dispatch police. (Without this information it is impossible for officers to place the vehicle on the regional and national databases as "stolen", therefore it's a wasted trip for the officers) She demanded to speak to a superviser. After talking to this woman for five minutes and figuring out that she lived three miles from the store I offered to have an officer take her home to get her info. (This is HIGHLY unorthodox because we don't run a damn taxi service...but being inconvenienced just doesn't suit the North Dallas crowd so it wasn't worth the headache) Before we could get officers en route to her, though, she called back to tell us that she finally took the time to walk around the parking lot and found her "stolen" Infiniti.

A thirteen year old girl called to report that a fellow thirteen year old girl was threatening to send several other thirteen and fourteen year old girls to beat her up. Seems this little girl was attempting to woo the fourteen year old father of the other thirteen year old's unborn child.

I literally could not make this stuff up if I tried.

Did you head over to the 600 block of Twin Hills after completing your yardwork?

Did you head over to the 600 block of Twin Hills after completing your yardwork?

That's clear across town. If my nosy neighbor likes what he sees and reports me, do you think I could walk to the other side of town?

Besides, Twin Hills is known as "Oak Lawn North". I'm straight bro.

And you wonder why Cops is such a popular show.

[emmitt01]

A lady from North Dallas called to report that a dog was barking and was keeping her awake. Officers were dispatched and, acter driving up and down the street and alleyway, they were unable to locate the dog. As a courtesy they wentto the lady's door to tell them they had looked around and found nothing. As they approached her door they began to hear the loudly barking dog...inside the lady's house.

Another man called to report that the moon has a magnetic pull that forces him to look at it. He wanted us to bring out a "magnetic field recognizer" to trouble shoot the issue for "public safety".

Keep em coming....these are my favorite GMG posts of late

----Also remember that these nuts once walked into someones classroom and that these people also have kids ....that schools have to deal with... It is a strange world out there... Toss in that about everyone in prision was in school-rooms as well and we had to deal with them... My absolute worst (by far) was class of less than 20 who had 5 "students" that were later charged with murder (4 murders) plus two in the room that were murder victims (the killer of one was in that room also... bad drug deal.. about two years later.) ... The class period prior to this one that I had had a kid that later appeared on TVs Most Wanted.... crazy, crazy year.....Guess which year I ran a marthon.. that one... would come home frustrated and hit the streets to keep my sanity and take out my frustrations. .

--Have some sympathy for those who stand in front of a classroom... it is a tough job as it is for those who work in law-enforcement. At least teachers get to deal with a lot of great people as well as these nuts.

200 BLOCK OF ROOK RAMSEY – A man walked into the Sheriff’s Office and said he was drunk. He was then arrested for public intoxication.

Rook Ramsey. Now there's a blast from the past. Wise County's own version of Boss Hogg.

Carl "Rook" Ramsey

January 1, 1951, to December 31, 1960

January 1, 1977, to December 31, 1984

Carl "Rook" Ramsey is probably the most well known sheriff in Wise County History. He was born in Decatur, Texas, on March 1, 1911. He attended school in Bridgeport, but graduated from Graham high school. He also attended Decatur Baptist College. In 1935, He married Mable Sparks of Boyd. They had one daughter.

Rook Ramsey began his career in law enforcement in the early forty's as the city Marshall for the City of Bridgeport. On November 7, 1950, he was elected to what would be the first of many terms of office. He served until December 31, 1960.

After leaving the sheriff's department, (he was voted out) Rook and his wife moved to Fort Worth, and went to work as the Chief jailer for Tarrant County Sheriff Lon Evans. In 1975, the Ramsey family moved back to Bridgeport, and Rook took an investigator position with the Bridgeport Police Department.

On November 2, 1976, he was elected to his second term as sheriff.....(because the county had had enough of a church going Sheriff (J.R. Branch) and the paranoid crazy Sheriff that followed.)

He served as sheriff from January 1, 1977, until January 1, 1985, when he retired.

Rook Ramsey died on October 6, 1994. He served as sheriff for a total of eighteen years.

Carl "Rook" Ramsey was not only well known, but he was also greatly respected by the citizens (and feared by the criminals) of Wise County, both young and old.

The only thing missing from this photo is (like Boss Hogg) the cigar that he was always smoking.
