Guy from out of town turned the wrong way into a coffee stand drive-through, so he backed up and then pulled forward into a
parking spot, completely neglecting to set his parking brake on a hill. While he was inside ordering coffee, his car rolled
backward and toward the busy road. Gaining speed going downhill, the car crossed the road with drivers going both ways
managing to avoid hitting it. The car wound up about 40 feet off the roadway down in the woods. But nobody got hurt.

2:30 am; some poor lady’s home alarm is in full blown alarm mode, but with no burglar present. She can’t get the alarm siren to
turn off and it causes her to go into full freakout panic attack mode, and I have to show up and calm her down. It helped a bit
that I knew her; she was a retired school teacher.

About a month after a local officer-involved shooting that left a citizen dead and a community on edge, I was at a gas station
filling up my patrol car. I guy I casually knew was there and he thought it would be funny to walk up behind me and say “Hey
officer get your hands up!” Turns out, that was actually not so funny. Not. At. All.

I pulled over a driver for turning in front of another car without using his turn signal. “Do you know why I stopped you, sir?” I
asked him. He said “Because I didn’t have my seatbelt on. And I was talking on my cell phone. And I didn’t stop at the stop sign.”
