EPIC llama-related police blotter.

Sometimes having a Google Alert for “llama” and “arrested” really pays off in dividends.
These gems come to you straight out of the Fall River County South Dakota sheriff's call log. We’ll save the llama-related one ‘til the end.

“5:49 a.m. – 911 call from a female who was walking to Pine Ridge from Edgemont. She is five miles outside of town, is freezing and is requesting a ride.” – That is an epic walk of shame, and I really sincerely doubt it was worth it.

“9:05 a.m. – Female caller from South Sixth Street, requesting extra patrols near her home after she leaves later. Caller is afraid someone is climbing over her fence while she’s not home.” – 2 words: Electric Fence.

“9:23 p.m. – Female caller, wondering if her daughter had a warrant, as she hasn’t come home yet.” – I hope when I have kids, that my first thought when they aren’t home by 9pm isn’t that they must have been arrested.

“10:06 p.m. – 911 call from female, letting dispatch know she is home.” – It’s like checking in with your parents, but instead it’s tax-payer 911 dollars.

“5:44 p.m. – Female on South Chicago requesting an officer, as her sister is back and raising hell. Officer told her to leave for the night. Sister stated she wanted baby formula and a 27-inch TV.” – Just no words. None.

“10:42 p.m. – Male caller in Buffalo Gap, advising that he is done drinking for the night. He ordered a kilt and he goes to bed early and gets up early, and he lives by a witch.” – So many questions on this one. When did he start drinking if he’s done by 10:42? Does Amazon.com have a good selection of kilts? At least he lives by a witch, and not with a witch.

AND FINALLY FOR THE LLAMA:

“4:20 p.m. – Female on Argyle Road, reporting that the llama is back on her property again.” – I love how it's THE llama is back. Sounds like a creepy horror movie set-up. After all that, ok this was mildly anti-climatic.

Just a day in the life of a South Dakotan Police Officer. Sign me up, because these are some problems that I could see myself tackling. Also, is anyone else thinking there may be an epic meth problem in this town?
