The owner of a hair salon called the police because one of the hair stylists had been kicked out by her, but the stylist did not
want to leave. I showed up and asked the stylist why in the world she was staying there, very unwanted, when the owner had
told her to GTFO. The stylist said she had rented her space there and pre-paid for the month, so she wanted to stay until the
end of the month. I told her it doesn’t work that way, she needed to leave and she could get a refund from the owner. Then we
discovered the real reason why the stylist was still there; she had placed a discreet video camera on a shelf and had evidently
been hoping somebody was going to use force against her to get her to leave.

A middle aged woman with some severe anxiety and depression disorders has changed her meds with her doctor’s guidance but
the medication is most definitely not working for her, because she is now completely freaking the fuck out in her bedroom;
acting like an absolute raving mad lunatic. Her husband is pretty calm about it, he’s seen it before. Myself and another officer
talk to her (or try to talk to her) and a medic crew arrives; eventually we talk her into a trip to the emergency room. Tw0 days
later, back on the right medications, she was presenting herself out in public, looking and acting totally normal. It happens.

Somebody had managed to remove a payphone from a payphone booth, take it into the woods, and using brute force and hand
tools, broke it open to the get the quarters inside. Yeah, this was back in the days when payphones were still around. With
quarters in them. Somebody had called 911 and reported finding the payphone, so there I was staring at it. Although that was
the first payphone violated that I’d seen like that, I did once come across a similarly-violated store cash register dumped and
torn into, in a swamp. It happens.
