Hey -
Just to start the Monday off right, here's an old GPR (general purpose report) from the sheriff's office. I said previously I'd share some funny ones as I got them. I've had this one for awhile, and just never shared it. So here goes:
*******
Report Date: 03132004 Pedestrian Check
Miami County Sheriff’s Office case number: 2004-0864
On031304 at 1157 hours, I was dispatched to 303rd Street, West of Osawatomie Road, reference a pedestrian check. Dispatch said the anonymous caller told her, there was a W/M walking West on 303rd, wearing a red backpack. Upon arrival, I located a W/M walking West on 303rd Street, West of Plum Creek road. The W/M was wearing light colored blue jeans, gray sweatshirt, and red backpack. I made contact with the subject, who told me he was Jeff Howell of Lenexa, Ks. He said he was walking to Texas to be with a ministry. Jeff said he did not have a valid license. I asked Jeff why he was in this area, if he was walking to Texas. Jeff said he was going to Ottawa and parallel I-35 on his walk to Texas. Jeff said he did not want to walk on highways, as they are unsafe and there is a lot of traffic. I asked Jeff if he has family in Lenexa. Jeff said his mother lives in Overland Park. Jeff gave me her address and phone number. I asked Jeff if his family knows his whereabouts. Jeff said no, he will call they once he gets to Texas.
I asked dispatch to call Jeff’s mother and check his story. Dispatch was unable to make contact with Mrs. Howell. I asked dispatch to call the Overland Park Police Department and ask for an officer to respond to the residence and make contact with Mrs. Howell. Overland Park Police was unable to make contact with anyone, however, they tried.
I asked Sergeant Hughes if it would be ok to transport Mr. Howell to Virginia Road, Franklin Co. Kansas, to save him some steps. Sergeant Hughes advised, at my discretion. Mr. Howell was transported to 327th and Virgina Road.
Dispatch checked for wants/warrants and nothing found on this subject.
Nothing Further,
Reporting Deputy: Minckley. Badge 162.

(Good stuff. Howell is a 40 year old man, by the way.)
