The local school district received a call from the out-of-state school bus factory, asking when they were going to send the
payment for the new school buses they had sold and delivered to the district. Which was odd, since the district’s finance
department had already paid them $238,000 dollars. Finance department had got the official invoice from the transportation
department and approved it. Uh….turns out that was an email hack and the invoice was not the real one, and the $238,000 was
sent off to a scammer. In Africa. Who did not share any of the proceeds with the school bus factory.
Traffic stop: the Hispanic driver is claiming to know no English as I’m trying to explain why I felt his driving was bad. Finally I
asked him if he would understand me better if I just wrote it all down? He said yes. So I wrote him a ticket.
The clean-cut looking sailor I pulled over one night, right at the end of my shift, at the end of my workweek. I was quite ready
to cut him loose with a quick warning to slow down but then an ignition interlock started beeping for his attention, right while
I was standing there. Worst time ever for him; I was of course quite compelled at that point to run his name and when I found
out his license was suspended in relation to the recent DUI he had got, he was issued a huge ticket and his car was impounded.
All because his interlock beeped at the exact wrong time for him.
Guy crashed his car into a traffic light pole. Knocked one of the large traffic signal lights loose, dangling by a just a wire over the
intersection. I suggested to the fire dept. guys that they cut it off, so they put their fire truck under it, reached up, and cut it
loose. That solved the problem of the dangling light, but we learned that day that if a light signal assembly is cut off, every other
light in the intersection will go into flashing red mode, which really clogged up the traffic for us then.
