Old lady’s friend easily (and very unhelpfully) convinced old lady that her (mental) health problems might be the work of an
evil spirit in her house. I go visit the old lady after she calls 911 to report she can’t sleep. We talk for a long time about the
problems, which she said were all in her house but I could tell they were all just in her head. Finally, when I found out she was
Jewish I suggested she could get a Rabbi out to cleanse her house. She quickly dismissed that idea “That won’t work, I don’t
think the spirit is Jewish!” Me: “Well howabout a Catholic Priest then?” Her: “I don’t know if it’s a religious spirit or not.” Quickly
followed by “I’m not crazy, you know!”

Woman came to the police department with a bunch of letters written by her ex husband who was currently incarcerated in
prison for a very long time. In his boredom there, he had resorted to sending hand-written letters to his teenage daughter
encouraging her to have all kinds of sex with her new boyfriend – including offering helpful tips - and then write him back
describing all the details. I dunno, maybe he was going to sell the letters to the other convicts there? Or were they for his own
enjoyment?

Some little miscreant at an apartment complex got bored one night – this was before the internet was invented, so kids had to
amuse themselves somehow – and so he helped himself to a fire extinguisher from a wall box near the apartement manager’s
office. Aimed the nozzle into the mail slot in the manager’s door. I should mention this was a dry powder chemical fire
extinguisher. He discharged it into the office, through the slot. Manager of course called 911 the next day. Her office looked like
the inside of a Shake n Bake bag; absolutely everything was coated in an ivory-colored powder.
