Let's hear some good WTF stories!
Today I saw a cop pull over a guy in a Honda with BOTH driver side tires flat, driving 35 in the snow. Front tire shredding, back spinning on the rim. I could smell the burning rubber. The cop HAD to be saying WTF are you thinking????? |

We had a DUI called in by another motorist following her last weekend. She had driven approximately 10 miles on two aluminum wheels in a 2007 Camry that was otherwise pristine. (She apparently partied too hard watching the Saints-Lions game.) Another deputy got there before she got out of her car...she couldn't stand up unassisted.
Right after we wrapped that one up, I got called to do SFSTs on a "stranded motorist" who turned out to be a drunk passed out behind the wheel. His truck was askew across one of the lanes of the interstate on-ramp. Most Saturday nights are full of WTF? stories.

Early one Saturday night dispatch aired a report from a concerned "friend" that her room mate had left their apartment drunk and driven to a local bar to get drunker. PD saw her car in the parking lot and did a walk through, but she wasn't in the bar.
At about 2:30 a.m. I overheard the highway patrol dispatch ask for assistance with a silver passenger car going eastbound in the westbound lanes of I-80 heading up the pass. I'm a few miles west on the interstate and tell their dispatch I'll be enroute (There are no troopers on duty from midnight to 7:00 a.m.). I arrive and it's a mess. Tractor trailer driver is waving frantically at me to pull over as I get to the impact point. I go to check on the driver, she's dead and partially ejected. It's the same girl we'd been looking for earlier in the evening. Looked like she'd suicided by semi. Sad. |

Yeah, had to assist the coroner in getting her out. She was so broken up it was like a life size rubber doll. Don't even get me started on arriving at dead body calls, especially in the summer. My last suicide was up in the National Forest and the guy poured gas on himself, sat in a tire, lit the gas, and blew his brains out with a pistol. We found him a couple of hours later. I had a rookie with me. |

This didn't happen to me, but one of my shift partners couldn't go to a suspicious circumstances call without finding a dead body for about a week when we first got off of FTO. I want to say he found 4 bodies that week. One was a murder/suicide and the rest were old folks that had passed.
ETA: we still call him the grim reaper to this day

I'll bet it was something technical or strategic business continuity planning. |

I've gone over 100mph chasing a guy doing the same speed... Going South on the interstate, in the North bound lane.
Had an old lady call us to her house due to a suspicious item.. It was a beach ball.  Poor old lady.
Had an old guy think that his heat had been turned off by a device placed under his house... His house was atleast 80. Cought many, many couples fucking in public.. Some here at the new job on campus.. Others on the road. One couple was male.  
Went to work one night on night shift. 2 cops died by gunfire that night. Different departments. This is a small town area, so that was a fucked up night. Wrecked a Crown Vic on the road and wrecked a marked campus police SUV by hitting a deer on the highway. Got called to the hospital parking lot on morning at like 9:00am.. Dude was flashing his dick at the nurses.. Chased the fucker all over town in Crown Vics, while he ran from yard to yard. Everybody was out lookinf for this little fucker.. I caught him out of the cornor of my eye and stoped the squad car in traffic, got out and took off running. Just left my fucking squad car setting there. lol I catch the guy, tackle him, roll him over and see that he is a guy I went to school with.
I used to work at this little town about ten miles north of the county seat and the jail. I see our town drunk in the other little town on foot.. Long story short, the chief had arrested him the night before and now he was out of jail and was trying to get home. I took him. On the way up the road I hear this toosh sound. The bastard hadd allready bought beer and fucking poped the top on one in my truck!!! I have a bunch more , now that I think of it. |
|
Not a cop, but used to be a medic. One night we ran on these two drunk homeless brothers who we all knew up in a suburban area in the "nice" part of town about 10 miles from where we usually picked them up down town.
I asked them, "how did you guys get up here?" One of them said, "some cop told us he was tired of dealing with us and he brought us up here and dumped us, we've been trying to get back down town for two days". |
|
Not a regular cop here.
While overseas I was doing pier patrol and I see two bodies that appear to be doing the nasty on the cat walk. Send another MA over and is a senior E-6 with a E-1 going at it completely naked. A bunch of times get reports of a guys in female berthing, get there and they are going at ( and not in the top rack ). Every time base police drops people off for being drunk was fun. Most would be pretty cooperative, other times they thought they could not be touched . Officers were my favorite.
Had a dude start a fight in the base club in Coronado, got his ass beat by 3 of us with asp. He ended up in medical after the alcohol wore off. Had a I shit you not DEA raid on a carrier and almost a whole department got arrested for dealing and transporting coke. |

Backed up another agency with a traffic stop. Driver revoked for failing to provide proof of insurance. While a citation is being filled out, she calls her mom to drive the car to her place. I explained to her mom that her daughter can't drive her vehicle until she gets the license issue resloved. While getting ready to drive daughters vehicle home, she looks at me " Can my daughter drive my truck back while I drive her car home?"

I'll bet it was something technical or strategic business continuity planning. Nope, road and bridge, molested his father in laws adopted daughter, was about to be arrested. Wouldn't have admired him if you had to put him out, twice, with a fire extinguisher, investigate, put him in a body bag, haul him out over the rocks, make family notifications, and go to the autopsy the next day. Poor new guy went home that night and his wife had grilled pork chops ready for him. He threw up. |

Arrive at a "Car driven into the side of a trailer" call. Driver is blind, not legally, he's fucking blind since birth. He's still at the wheel of the car that's impaled a single wide trailer in a shitty little park we always get called to. The engine's running, I ask him why. His reply, "Because it was cold and I wanted the heat on", made me laugh out loud.
Guy had gone to a party at the residence, wanted to leave, his driver did not. He gets a set of keys somehow and gets into another persons car, starts the engine and drives back into the party. Couldn't do SFSTs, obvious reasons, but he blows into the intoximeter and gets a citation for DUI. I framed that one.

Had a suicide run a few years ago... A "little person" had hung himself. He was chubby and had dangled a few days before anyone found him. He was almost normal height by then.... Neck was a bit out of porportion to the rest of him though. Yeah, we had a guy hang himself in his garage. By the time they found him he was about 5 inches taller. |
| I always love the drunk drivers that hand me their beer/wine bottle to hold as they dig for their drivers license. These folks also tend to forget they are buckled in when they try to get out of the car for field sobriety testing... Takes all I have to not bust out laughing at em. |

Had a call for an assault in the low rises
Roll up there, just one guy sitting on the curb, head in his hands. Odd for the 'jects because usually the courts are packed at 0200. Anyway, I walk up to the guy, tap him on the leg with my stick, ask him what's up. Guy looks up at me and he has a buck knife sticking out of his head like a friggin' fence post. That's not the most WTF thing I've seen, just I still can't figure out how someone was able to shove a buck knife through somebodies skull. |

Gave instructions on the Walk and Turn. Ask the guy if there's anything he wants me to repeat; he replies, "Hell, I can't do that sober". I love remote mics! |

Last September, I took a disturbance call where an adult son beat the hell out of his 72 year old mother. Her left eye was already very swollen, fat lip, bleeding from her ear and mouth.
She was very polite and well spoken, nicely dressed. I had trouble convincing her to allow EMS to transport her to the ER. I really felt sorry for this lady. She argued that she didnt want to leave her car there at the gas station, had to water her plants and such. What I didnt know at the time, was that her son was driving by and looking at us from a large, busy roadway. His mother, EMS and myself were on a side street. Finally convinced her to go with EMS and she sits down on the stretcher. Just then, I hear a vehicle accelerating sharply and turn to see an F150 barreling right at us. Long story short, he plows through our little crime scene and everyone disappears. There was no time to do anything but look and dodge to the left. He destroyed his mother in a single instant, struck her vehicle and a patrol car and kept on driving down the road. The metal frame of the stretcher became lodged in his under carraige and disabled his vehicle. I caught up to his truck on foot just in time to cuff him. I left him with another officer and ran back to our crime scene. I saw his mother in the street and she was a heap of broken bones and road rash. Just like that she was gone and there nothing any of us could do. I have never felt more defeated than at that moment. Truly an innocent victim worthy of our best efforts and there wasnt shit we could do about it. A while later, I walked over to the patrol car where her son was being held and leaned down in the window so I could see exactly who would do such a thing. He leaned down to look at me and we just stared at each other for a bit of time. I have never felt such hatred for a person. My Corporal pulled me away and that was my WTF moment....who does that? Who runs their mother down in broad daylight in front of 30 witnesses? I have others but this one stands out in my mind....

This one was from my dad. This was just after CCW permits were created in AZ. So, my dad was a drug unit prosecutor. He would ride with the cops to drug scenes. Well, he was riding in the patrol car of a good friend who was a Pinal County sheriffs deputy, when they respond to a call about some drunk dude shooting his pistol into the windows of multiple Florence bars. So the cop gets out of the car and goes to the latest scene. My dad is hanging out by the patrol car. Then some drunk dude approaches, and reaches down in his pants but is too drunk to pull out his revolver. My dad thinks, "well shit..." and reaches for his browning high power just as the cop he was riding with tackles the son of a bitch and knocks him out. Case closed...

I had a lady die of a heart attack while stopped at a red light with her foot on the brake. I had to position my patrol car at the front bumper and shut down traffic while I smashed the passenger window and climbed in with her. I then had to reach over and unlock the driver's door for paramedics and put my foot on the brake as they pulled her out.

Drunk guy puts his truck into ditch. Steals farmers tractor to pull truck out. Decides to just pulls his truck 15 miles home. Drunk farmer leaving the juke joint hits the truck his stolen tractor is pulling.

I'm guessing he did it...anyway, body is still warm....Coroner was there and everybody and their brother outside. After we all make jokes about him and other stories from the old timers..."remember that guy we found...etc...etc." We go to take him down...and the Sheriff tells us all to be careful with him....I shit you not....we all start laughing....buddy says....what can we do to him...his dead. Sheriff laughs a little and says...just don't drop him and walks off. |

I'm not a cop, but one of my friends used to work nights in Golden ( home of Coors) and had several stories about guys walking up to his car and saying they were robbed. Either the guy who sold them drugs didn't give them change or they overcharged or something. Phil always answered the same way (in a calm, deadpan voice) "Well, get in the back and let's see what we can do"
I guess he caught a couple dealers, still hanging out at the 7-11. But he busted every one of the "victims" for possession. They'd happily pull their stash out to explain just how they got ripped off. |
| Had a guy that was to drunk to drive and was given a ride home by his friend. Drunk got home and wanted to get his car back from the bar. SOOOOOO he takes his brothers mini van (with out permission) and ends up putting it in the ditch on a major Hwy and flees the scene. I get there and notice that its a mini van that is in the process of being stripped out. No license plate, registration, insurane card and....THERE IS NO DRIVERS SEAT, WTF?. I make contact with the drunk who is at home "sleeping". He admits to everything including having to stand up while driving the mini van. He goes to jail for DUI and yes I wrote him a ticket for no seatbelt. |

My Brother is a medic in a podunk N. FL town.
He told me about a drunk that kept climbing the same tree and getting stuck on the same branch. Every single time he'd get drunk, they'd get called out to get him down. Eventually they just removed a couple of limbs so he couldn't climb the tree anymore. |

Had a 911 hang up call at an apartment complex. Kitchen window by the door had no curtains, so I look in before we knock on the door. The "mentally challenged" resident had a saddle on top of the kitchen table, and was sitting on it pretending to ride. Oh, did I mention he was naked? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
|
Had a 911 dispatch for a man who shot himself in the head. His wife called it in screaming.
On arrival... we went to the door (guns drawn) and greeted by the guy who shot himself in the head. He kept saying "I can't even kill myself properly, I suck at life so much."
He did shoot himself in the head, with a .22 round directly above the right ear. Blood was streaming out, but here he was.. .bitching about how he can't do it properly. He couldn't take enough of his life. His internet girlfriend wasn't coming out to see him anymore, his wife was bat shit crazy and he has been unemployed for over 2 years and wanted to 'end it all'. They dug out the bullet fragments from his brain the next day... and he is still alive, moping around. |
|
My partner and I responded to a 9/11 call for a shooting once.
When we rolled up, no one was around except this one kid, about 15 or so, sitting on his stoop. So, we asked him, "Yo, my man, someone get shot?" He says, "Yeah, me." Pulls up his shirt, he's got multiple bullet holes in him. "How many times you get shot?" "I dunno. Fo, five, times." By our count, I think he'd been shot 6 times. And yet, he didn't bat an eyelash. The kid was cool as the other side of the pillow. It wasn't our job, so when the sector assigned showed up, we split. As we were walking out of the block, ESU pulled up. ESU cop asks me what's up. I told him, "Kid's like 15, he's shot about 6 times." "DOA?" "Fuck no, he's fine. We were sitting on the stoop with him, talking." The ESU cop busts out laughing, "Jesus Christ, you can't kill these mutts. It's like they're made of Legos, or something." |

At about 2:30 a.m. I overheard the highway patrol dispatch ask for assistance with a silver passenger car going eastbound in the westbound lanes of I-80 heading up the pass. I'm a few miles west on the interstate and tell their dispatch I'll be enroute (There are no troopers on duty from midnight to 7:00 a.m.). I arrive and it's a mess. Tractor trailer driver is waving frantically at me to pull over as I get to the impact point. I go to check on the driver, she's dead and partially ejected. It's the same girl we'd been looking for earlier in the evening. Looked like she'd suicided by semi. Sad. Not sure if the public understands what all you may see in a day.....this story is sad. Yeah, had to assist the coroner in getting her out. She was so broken up it was like a life size rubber doll. Don't even get me started on arriving at dead body calls, especially in the summer. My last suicide was up in the National Forest and the guy poured gas on himself, sat in a tire, lit the gas, and blew his brains out with a pistol. We found him a couple of hours later. I had a rookie with me. That's dedication. |

Had a call of a guy trying to recycle a railroad track section at the local recycling center I arrive as suspect is dragging the 20 foot section of steel hooked via chain to his bumper down the road away from the recycling center. I light him up and stop him for investigation. He says he's just busy recycling scrap metal that he found. Well he "Found" the section of rail on an active rail system! He just hooked up the chain from his bumper to the rail and yanked it off and drug it down the highway sparks flying everywhere all the way to teh recycling center!
When I asked him why he felt it was okay to take the section of rail his response was "It was just lying there" WTF!!!
I had to explain to him that was the primary purpose of railroad track, was to just lay there. If it is not "Just laying there" then there are problems. Had to have the railway shut down for a few hours so they could get crews in to fix the track. Have a ton of other WTF moments but that was one of the best. My partner had one call where three stolen vehicles got into a traffic collision with each other then all the occupants of said stolen vehicles got into a giant fistfight in the middle of the intersection. That one was pretty good too. |

I found a woman and her 5 year old dead and decomposing on the living room floor. There were empty pill bottles nearby and the car was in the garage, out of gas, dead battery, and key on run.
Another suicide call a guy had put a 12 gauge in his mouth. There were small bits of brain dripping from the ceiling, but most of his brain was still perfectly intact, on the floor. Wtf. I walked up to a door once and saw a pitbull on the couch. As soon as it saw me it charged right at me and latched on just above my belt grabbing my shirt and vest. I instantly drew and put one right between its eyes. Fortunately for me: 1) I don't have a big dick and 2) the dog didn't bite it off. The Wtf part comes in because it RAN AWAY with a new hole in its face! The owner found it and brought it back on a chain with blood pouring out the bottom of its jaw and still trying to get at us. By the way, if you have a problem with the dog shooting. KISS MY ASS! |

Last September, I took a disturbance call where an adult son beat the hell out of his 72 year old mother. Her left eye was already very swollen, fat lip, bleeding from her ear and mouth. She was very polite and well spoken, nicely dressed. I had trouble convincing her to allow EMS to transport her to the ER. I really felt sorry for this lady. She argued that she didnt want to leave her car there at the gas station, had to water her plants and such. What I didnt know at the time, was that her son was driving by and looking at us from a large, busy roadway. His mother, EMS and myself were on a side street. Finally convinced her to go with EMS and she sits down on the stretcher. Just then, I hear a vehicle accelerating sharply and turn to see an F150 barreling right at us. Long story short, he plows through our little crime scene and everyone disappears. There was no time to do anything but look and dodge to the left. He destroyed his mother in a single instant, struck her vehicle and a patrol car and kept on driving down the road. The metal frame of the stretcher became lodged in his under carraige and disabled his vehicle. I caught up to his truck on foot just in time to cuff him. I left him with another officer and ran back to our crime scene. I saw his mother in the street and she was a heap of broken bones and road rash. Just like that she was gone and there nothing any of us could do. I have never felt more defeated than at that moment. Truly an innocent victim worthy of our best efforts and there wasnt shit we could do about it. A while later, I walked over to the patrol car where her son was being held and leaned down in the window so I could see exactly who would do such a thing. He leaned down to look at me and we just stared at each other for a bit of time. I have never felt such hatred for a person. My Corporal pulled me away and that was my WTF moment....who does that? Who runs their mother down in broad daylight in front of 30 witnesses? I have others but this one stands out in my mind.... Wow, thats fucked up .
Death by firing squad for that mo'fer |

Had a 911 dispatch for a man who shot himself in the head. His wife called it in screaming. On arrival... we went to the door (guns drawn) and greeted by the guy who shot himself in the head. He kept saying "I can't even kill myself properly, I suck at life so much."
He did shoot himself in the head, with a .22 round directly above the right ear. Blood was streaming out, but here he was.. .bitching about how he can't do it properly. He couldn't take enough of his life. His internet girlfriend wasn't coming out to see him anymore, his wife was bat shit crazy and he has been unemployed for over 2 years and wanted to 'end it all'. They dug out the bullet fragments from his brain the next day... and he is still alive, moping around. (furiously erases .22LR off of "Best Round for Zombies" list) |
