My favorite from my dispatch sit in for my EMT certs was someone called to say there may be sheep on the road on Hwy 34. But there was a fence, and the person couldn't tell what side they were on. And they didn't stop. But they wanted to let the cops know that there may be sheep either on the road side, or the farm side of a fence. In a known farm area...
That and the 4 year old whose parents gave him a "deactivated" cell phone. Did you know that even though you change your plan to a different phone, a phone can still call 911? I didn't. And neither did the parents when the cops knocked on the door.
