Friday is the last day of a really nice young lady that I work with. Dispite the challenges that face those who wear the badge in this current world, she has decided to follow a career in law enforcement. God bless her. Not sure i could do it again. I spent 19 years with another 5 in reserve before I decided to move on to the private sector. She often asks me for advice and stories. So here is my favorite, and proof you never know what you'll be walking into.
This story takes place in the summer of '92 IIRC. I was with the Riverside County CA Sheriff's Department at the time. We got a call to respond to a domestic disturbance at about 0100hrs. Apartment complex. Domestic calls suck. They are all over the map. Often when you show up- YOU become the target, and the complainants usually forget about what the issue is they called you for.
So, we arrive- three people are involved. A male and female who were little people, and another normal sized male. All are in a various state of undress- mostly nude. The normal sized male has a large contusion to his head and is in and out of awareness. The little couple, the male is panicked and agitated and is being consoled by his partner. We get all parties separated, take statements and call for rescue for the injured male.
What transpired- well the little people were a married couple, and the second male was a friend. They decided to have an adventurous night and after dinner- a 3-way. Apparently the second normal sized male was doing too good of a job, "taking care" of the wife- so her husband got mad hit him over the head with a wine bottle…
Ok, so all statements pretty much match up. My partner hooks up the husband. Remember when I said that domestics often go south for officers?. Well, the woman who was around 4' sees her husband getting cuffed- looses it. Now I was back then 6'1, and built like a greyhound... thought I was quick. But she puts her head down like a charging bull, bolts right between my knees to go after the Deputy arresting her husband. But she misses, and rams a birdcage with a parrot in it- which escapes and starts squawking and flying around the room in a panic.
After 30 minutes, six cops are involved, one guy on his way to the hospital, and a M/F couple who happen to be little people- one party going to jail and another to be medically checked and then jail. And one parrot recaptured.
All in a day's work in the land of fruits and nuts when you wear a badge
