Police dispatcher reported a 911-hangup call at a residence. No response on call back. Is it a problem, or is it a malfunctioning
phone? 99% of the time it’s a malfunctioning phone. I dutifully head over to the house, presuming it’s a malfunctioning phone
but instead I find two drunk angry people, and a smashed phone on the ground, in pieces. Yep, it’s a for-reals 911 call because of
a domestic dispute. The offender was an off-duty Seattle police officer, who happened to live in Poulsbo. My sergeant then called
his sergeant. Offender/SPD Officer got in a LOT of trouble with everybody, starting pretty much immediately at that point.

Guy driving a little Honda Civic learned the hard way – but too late- that the “E Brake” also makes a great parking brake. His
car, with no brake on, rolled backward from the mailboxes at the top of the hill of his apartment complex; the car went down
into the parking lot, hit a railing, and went through it. The railing though had been strong enough to kill about 90% of the car’s
momentum; so it did not go over the edge of the parking lot down into the apartment 8 feet below that. The car wound up
balanced -precariously but perfectly– on a concrete lip of an edge; one half of the car was a foot above the parking lot, and the
other half was dangling in the air 8 feet above the ground and 13 feet from somebody’s kitchen window.

I called for a tow truck to come get the car (yeah, same story here, continued..) and the tow truck driver missed the driveway,
went too far to the dead end road, and in an effort to turn around his giant flatbed truck, he backed into and took out a wooden
house fence. Which I thought was pretty funny but then it got even better when he tried to drive his truck down the steep
driveway to the dangling car and the exposed drive shaft of the flatbed tow truck hit the grade and broke off at the mid-point
coupling. Then the driver tried to go forward to get out of there but the drive shaft, connected at the rear axle and not connected
in the middle anymore, got wedged into the pavement and totally jammed up the whole truck. The poor tow truck driver, a
young guy, was really not happy as he was desperately banging on the driveshaft with a sledgehammer, looked up, and saw me
snapping away with my camera. It took another tow truck of course to unfuck that situation. The Honda driver felt a little better,
that he wasn’t the only dumbass there that day. Sadly I lost those hilarious photos.
