PPD – Dog Rescued From Danger

Cyn Mackley by Cyn Mackley
6 years ago

Dog
ShareTweetEmail

Officers, a good neighbor, and the Health Department teamed up to rescue a pup in bad shape on Saturday. Police also dealt with a lot of folks under the influence.  You can check out the highlights in these 11 slides. There are also several bizarre calls that I’m attempting to get more information on. If you’d like to check out the unfiltered police log with all the details, consider becoming a VIP member. Click here to learn how it works.

Call For Help

Dispatch originally had a hard time hearing a man who called for help at 12:23 am. His phone kept cutting in and out. He thought he was having a stroke but decided he didn’t need help. An hour later he called back and requested an ambulance.

Gunshots or Firecrackers

  • A caller reported gunshots at a 10th Street residence at 1:16 am. Police didn’t find anything when they arrived.
  • Another report of a gunshot on Woodland Avenue just after 6 pm. Police think it might have been a firecracker.

Pipe Down

Police responded to a noise complaint at Richard Noggins Pub just after 1 am. When they checked it out, they didn’t hear anything.

Doggie In Danger

A caller told officers that people remodeling a Sterling Avenue Home tied a dog up in the garage several days ago. The dog is crying. The caller went over to feed and water it.

He reported the dog is in bad shape with a torn ear and that there were flies all over the animals. He FaceTimed the animal to the police so they could see its condition. Officers made a report to the County Dog Warden.

Just after 3:30 pm, the Health Department asked for an officer to assist him in picking up the dog. Police helped the Health Department retrieve the friendly pup. The animal is now safe.
