We just had someone sent to jail...Well, sorta...

We had to call the cops on a dude earlier...Yep. So, here's the strange story. There was an accident in the intersection a block from here. We heard the the crunch inside our quite insulated apartment. So, we're on the balcony with binoculars, being silly, hoping people are ok, etc. Then we hear someone yelling. At nothing. There's a dude lying in a parking spot across the street. So, he lies there for a few minutes while the paramedics, cops, and firemen tend to the accident. Then the guy stands up, and stumbles over to in front of this van. He unbuttons his fly, whips it out, pees, all the while he's facing the street. If the family who owned the vehicle had come over at this time, they would have gotten the fright of their life. Luckily we're the only ones who see this. So, instead of going on his inebriated way, he LIES DOWN IN HIS OWN PISS.
Now, let me tell you something about my neighborhood. We live in a pretty high profile neighborhood. I live across the street from the OKC National Memorial in Downtown OKC. There are families with small children, tourists, church groups swarming all over the place. So, I don't have the non emergency number to the police station, and I'm not going to bother 911 dispatch with this dude. So, I call down stairs to security and let them know what's going on. There was also some skank ass idiots above us throwing cigarette butts off their balcony, so I had to let him know about that too.
So basically, the guy called the police. We watch as the cop handcuffs the sleeping drunk and he doesn't even wake up. The cop finally gets the drunk on his feet. Here are a few pictures Skip took of the cop frisking the guy.




The consierge screamed from the street that we had to come downstairs and talk to the cop. I didn't sign the citation because the cop was going to take him in for public intoxication, so there was no need to go after him for the indecent exposure. I wouldn't even have gotten a show had it not been for the binoculars. So, they took him away around 7.
And you guys thought nothing interesting ever happened in Oklahoma City. LOL

one doesn't tend to think about OKC as a particularly violent or odd place, but that story did it for me!

thanks!

We have a scanner and live up the street from a firehouse and a hospital.

I'd feel a lot safer.

If it weren't for the accident down the street we wouldn't even have been outside. We were just in the right place at the right time. We're not usually looky loos or nosy or anything, I promise.
Duckie

I think it was a club or a school name.

Can you come and sic the cops on the idiots who are vandalizing our neighborhood of late?? :hi:

"Hey, newbie - we need you to frisk this guy who was sleeping in a puddle of pee! Do a good job..."

But he seemed experienced and Professional. He made me a little nervous, and I wasn't as articulate as I usually am, but that's because he's a cop, not because he's young. When he was asking me what I wanted to do about the citation for the indecent exposure and how it worked, he said that he totally understood if I didn't want to sign it and since he was being removed for the public intoxication he was being removed. He made me feel comfortable, and when I declined to sign, he didn't get pissed or anything, he was very nice, said he understood, and let us go.
Duckie

wondering if he got hazardous duty pay, but I liked yours much better and it kicked mine out of my brain.

I want you to be one of my neighbours.

You did the right thing..... It's cool that there are people who give a damn about their neighbourhoods.

:toast: Here's to you guys, Duckie!!! You are too cool. :evilgrin:
