Family of 4 bought a nice big brand new motorhome. They load it up and off they go on a nice Memorial Day weekend vacation
adventure. They get about 3 miles down the road and some dude, parked on the shoulder of the highway, jumps out of his
Mitsubishi 3000GT to put himself directly in their path. The driver of the motorhome had no time to react and he smashed right
into the suicidal guy. The motorhome skids to a stop and of course the suicidal guy is a dead bloody mess back there in the
highway. I get called and arrive within about a minute. A nurse driving by threw a blanket over the dead mess, and I have to
deal with the family in the motorhome who are all in complete shock and traumatized for life. What really sticks with me is
checking out the dude’s car; the door was still wide open, the engine was running, and the door dinger was still dinging. Also
one of his shoes was out in the road. It had blood splattered all over it. I stared at it for a long time, marveling that so much
blood could get on a shoe that was knocked off a foot like that. Turns out the blood was not his; it belonged to his girlfriend
whom he had just murdered in Bremerton. Not 20 minutes after the homicide he decided to add a suicide to his resume. But in
the worst possible way imaginable; by using somebody else’s motorhome. Not cool, man.

A nearby police agency called us to see if a misdemeanor warrant we had on a subject was still valid; they had the guy in custody
and needed the warrant confirmed. I looked in our records and found the warrant; it was a failure to appear in court for some
kind of a criminal charge. The expiration date on the warrant stated it would be valid and in effect for until the year 2049 – 30
years (!) from the date of issuance. I guess the judge had got pretty mad that the guy didn’t show up for his court hearing.

Local village idiot got run over in the roadway. He had a tendency to spaz out, sometimes on sidewalks, sometimes in roads.
One day he flopped down in the lane of travel and a lady ran him over. He didn’t die right away though; it took a day. One of
the fire department guys tried to console the driver by telling her that the guy was well known to flop down in the roads; it was
totally not her fault in any way. “So wait a minute!” she cried “You KNEW he did that?!
