The Night Ride!

It was a Friday night as my friend from Missouri and I sat there trying to think of something to do. I looked at him and asked if he would like to ride alone with a Sheriff Deputy. Brandon said “that would be cool if they would allow me to ride”. I told him I would make a call and find out. The Caption at the Sheriff’s Department told me that was fine just to check with the guys to see if they care. I told Brandon he could ride with Deputy Brown and that he would make it a fun night working with him. I sent a text message to Brett Brown to check with him if it was ok and he said that fine. I rode with Deputy Duly since one of the other guys I wanted to ride with was off. We arrived at post where Duly was waiting in his squad for me to show up. I put Brandon in the back and we were off to Busy Corner for dinner with all the other Deputies. After dinner Brandon went with Deputy Brown and I went with Deputy Duly. We started to serve some court papers but it was getting to late in the evening. We were up in Minonk and we got a call to assist Deputy Brown on a traffic stop. We went flying down I-39, blowing off cars at a high rate of speed which I won’t say how fast but you can image that. We arrived and he made an arrest on a guy for DUI. As we were there we go another call in Deer Creek for a 10-16 which is a domestic. There we were again flying down the road trying to get there in a hurry. After we found the house, we found out the people next door said there was loud music and they wanted it to stop. We weren’t too happy to hear that just because we put our life on the line trying to get there in a hurry. After that we drove around and went to different towns to talk to other officers and about 2:00am Saturday morning Brandon and I headed back to my place to get some sleep.   

Go-Carts

As I roll over scrambling to shut my alarm clock of I stare at it with the clock reading 5:00. When I start to wake up I find myself in the warm shower wear I don’t ever want to get out until I hear the banging on the door and my dad telling me he needs to get in there before he goes to work. I drag myself back into my room where I just sit there for a few minutes. I gathered my thoughts and put on my uniform and out the door I went. When I arrived at the Sheriff’s office Deputy Naugle had me help him with his reports from the day before. We just finished reports when we got our first call. The caller advised us someone stole his cattle from him. Upon arrival we found out they had got loss and were in the neighbor’s yard.  We weren’t going to get out of the car since one of them was a bull. We waited for the owners to get there and we helped them round them up and get them into the pin. After that we went to Metamora High School where the Woodford County Dare officer was and Tazewell County Dare officers. They had go carts and they had go carts where they were teaching the kids to brake and stop in a safe way. It was fun watching them do that. After that we went for lunch and did a Roanoke Patrol and called it a day.
