2nd work entry

     Well this week was rather interesting, mostly quiet. A few crashes, luckily no one was hurt. In two of the accidents there were Hispanic drivers that had no driver’s licenses. One interesting thing this week is we had a guy that his wife believed was possibly abusing her children, sexually. We were investigating him for that while she was filing for a divorce. Anyway the same day he got the divorce papers he intentionally drove his little car out in front of a semi truck and killed himself.  Pretty crazy.

I had one mother call into the office and tell me that her son had come home, and he was now sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast. She then stated she knew that he had a warrant. After checking I found out that he really did. I then went to his house, knocked on the door and the mom let me in. The kid was very shocked to see me step into the kitchen and tell him to stand up, because he was under arrest. I don't think he was too happy with his mom.

Oh yea and one last thing. Almost a year ago, we had a double homicide. Well this week the court case was finally finshed. She was found guilty on both counts of 1st degree Murder.

My life as a Sheriff's Deputy

Well lets see, I have decided to use this to make a small record of my life as a Policeman.

This week was actually pretty slow. I serverd a lot of Civil papers, and took some small complaints. One guy had some very expensive rifles stolen. the two of them together were about $2500 dollars. The most recent thing that happened is still fresh in my mind, because it happened today. A 34 year old girl died. She was sick, and had just had surgery. So we are thinking that she died due to complications of the surgery. It was a pretty bad scene. The EMT's did cpr on her for a long time. She had thrown up blood, and the smell was almost unbearable. Her mother was very upset when the EMT told her that there was nothing else they could do.

I spent nearly 3 hours at the house. Not a good time to say the least.
