From what I can see, the daily disapointment (as I call our local news paper) doesnt have much to print these days, so I am going to post some of the stupidest police reports I see.

» At 7:21 p.m. Sunday, a Wisconsin Rapids woman reported a group of about 10 children used a brick to kill a squirrel in the 1400 block of 29th Avenue South, then threw the dead squirrel in the road.

» At 8:35 p.m. Sunday, a Grand Rapids woman reported water from a neighbor’s sprinkler was hitting her fence in the 1000 block of Whitrock Avenue Grand Rapids.

» At 2:36 a.m. Friday, a Nekoosa man reported his father was acting crazy and trying to poison him

Drivers Monday morning on Third Street in Wisconsin Rapids were slowed as a large turtle crossed the road.

At 7:33 a.m. Monday, authorities received the first report of a large turtle on Third Street, according to the police log. Shortly after, another caller reported the turtle was blocking traffic.

The turtle was about 2 feet across, Wisconsin Rapids Police Lt. Bryan Krzykowski said. It was making its way to a field with fresh grass just north of Riverview Medical Center. Authorities let the snapping turtle continue its slow journey, Krzykowski said

Sounds like a typical day in Wood County to me. I doubt the 2:30am incident was alcohol related

I know, Right? I think anywhere else in the WORLD, the police would tell the caller they should leave the home. Probobly some 50 year old that is still living in the basement.

» At 12:43 p.m. Wednesday, a woman reported a man was stalking her on Facebook.

» At 12:55 p.m. Wednesday, a caller reported a foam minnow bucket rolling around Baker Street, near Fifth Street.

Im out of ammo guys, feel free to contribute stupid calls to the police from your area.

I should of kept a list of them after 33 years in Law Enforcement I heard a lot of them

Thats the main thing in the local paper also. Oh and the ads.....

The realy stupid part is that they will respond to the minnow bucket in the street call.

Cop's can only eat so many donuts. A cat up a tree gets front page coverage in the small town "Tattle Tale Tribune". LOL

How about a lady calling the police to report somebody dumping piles of dirt on her new sodded-lawn ??

(she had a mole problem)

An old widow lady sits by her window. She saw a cop pull up to a bridge within her sight, and saw him dump a live coon from a cage trap into the water. This made the paper. Why I ask? He was drowning the poor creature of course.

» At 2:06 a.m. Tuesday, an 18-year-old man wanted to turn himself in at the Police Department, 444 W. Grand Ave., for being intoxicated and underage.


You mite think this one was made up, but this is Rapids!

Alot of parents are making their teens do this as a last ditch effort to stop the problem.

The water on the fence and minnow bucket have me scratching my head ?????????????

At 8:54 a.m. Wednesday, a Wisconsin Rapids man reported the theft of a wallet, which he left in a shopping cart at Copps Food Centers, 900 E. Riverview Expressway.

» At 10:25 a.m. Wednesday, a Nekoosa man reported his daughter called him saying a man was yelling into a cellphone in the 800 block of South Section Street, Nekoosa. Dispatch also received two 911 calls from the same man about the Holocaust.

» At 5:21 p.m. Wednesday, a woman reported a boy yelling something near the intersection of Cranmoor Road and Highway G, Port Edwards.

The bomb squad was called for a rubber glove filled with some liquid hanging from a basketball hoop. Photo shows a policeman using a fellow policeman's shoulder to balance a pellet gun used to shoot the rubber glove. The liquid was determined to be soap.

man stuff like that makes "stupid rednecks" down here in the south look smart

FYI, there are plenty of rednecks above the Mason-Dixon line. And, the Chief of Police quoted for the record that this was not an over reaction. The caller did the right thing in calling 911.

This is from my hometown newspaper...good for a few laughs:

» At 2:53 p.m. Thursday, a Wisconsin Rapids woman requested an officer take fingerprints from her faucet because it keeps getting turned on and flooding her home when she is not there in the 4600 block of Eighth Street South. The officer determined the flooding was the result of a broken water line.
