I was scheduled to work the second and third shift on a Saturday night. Started feeling sick, tried to find someone to cover my shifts but no one was available. Normally getting someone to work a Saturday night is not an issue. I started working my shift and continued to get sicker. I decided since I could not find anyone to help me out I was not going to be out and about much.
I called dispatch to let them know what was going on and to call me at home if they needed me. I fill up the gas tank and start to head home. About half way there I get a call about a loud party at one of our trailer parks.
I roll by and there had to be twenty or more people in the yard. Loud music, booze etc. I turn on my tape recorder, find the guy who owns the trailer and tell him to lower the music, keep his guests out of the street and just tone it down.
He tells me to come back when I get off my shift. Says he has a couple of girls in the back giving blowjobs and he will hook me up. I tell him no, thanks and I go 10-8.
As I pull out of the trailer park a car comes by and almost hits me. I chase the car down and do a car stop. The guys is DUI. I hook him up, start my paperwork while I'm waiting on the tow truck. Get him to the jail, booked in and I'm going home.
Dispatch calls me and let's me know that the party goers called in and complained on me. Reportedly saying I made a bunch of racist comments. Big deal, call the chief on Monday file a complaint, I've got it all on tape.
I stop by the PD to drop off my paperwork from the DUI arrest. So the guy working first shift the next day will have access to my report if he needs them the next day. As I'm heading out of the PD I see a car totally blow a four way stop sign, making a right hand turn. I go after the car, get it stopped and what do you know another DUI.
At this point I'm barely holding on. I was so sick. But I still had to process this DUI. Get the guy to the jail, I'm heading home. On the way back I get another call about the party at the trailer park. I get there and tell them to shut it down.
I then get another call about 5 young males walking through a subdivision. I go to check it out. I see them and call in that I will be out checking these guys out. Turns out they had just left the party. Their ride had not come to pick them up. Turns out the guy who was suppose to pick them up was my second DUI arrest.
I decide to get the guys out of my town. I tell them I will give them a ride to the city limits. But before they can get in my car I have to do a pat down on them. First guy I patted down had some cheap handgun in his pocket (no CHL). Hook up number three of the night. About this time a deputy pulls up to back me up. He loads the other four and gives them a ride to the city limits.
In the end I made three arrests that night and never did get home till the first shift guy came on.
