Not a fun case

I started the day by getting ready for softball practice at one o’clock pm in Pullman. I went to the field early and waited around for people to show up. We had eleven people show up today. It was really nice, we were able to have a full practice. We had warmed up our arms. Then we started some fielding practice. I was hitting the ball around to people. Then my phone rang. I answered it.

It was Jaime from Whitcom. I said I did not want to hear from her. She said that I probably did not. She asked if I have been listening to the radio traffic. I told her I had not. It turned out a premature baby was delivered and being worked on, but it looked like it was going to die. I had to try to find out if I needed to respond. I was told by the deputy on scene to hurry because the father was close to being arrested over his behavior. I could not get ahold of Pete or Patti and I tried a ton of times. So finally I decided to start to head that way. I called and talked to Rick at the SO about it. Then I talked to Whitcom. They helped me locate Pete.

It turns out that twenty weeks along and farther are deaths we would need to investigate. Possibly even do an autopsy. That was not good news. When I told the deputy that, he had a few other deputies come to the scene because we were worried about what the dad would do when we told him that. I got out of cell coverage for a bit. I was very worried about the whole situation let alone it was a baby I was dealing with.

As it turns out when I got on scene I found that Pete and the MedStar flight nurse determined the baby was only nineteen weeks old and we would not have to do anything other than a small investigation. That made the situation a lot better. I am glad I did not have to take the baby and do what I thought I was going to have to do. I took some information and then they were able to go.

I headed back to Pullman. I had the FFL draft to get to. Because I was going to be late they found someone else to be my teammate and I am going to coach by team this year. I got to Zeppoz and we did our draft. I was there in the sixth round. It lasted until seven o’clock pm. Eddy, Jonathan, Ron, and I played Golden Tee golf. Then I met up with Ryan. We went to Applebees for dinner. While I was there I was told there was possibly another case coming our way.

As it turned out the person was saved and sent to Spokane on the bird. So I did not get a second case. After dinner I went to the SO and did my paperwork on the case I had. I faxed the paperwork to Pete and then I went to the controlroom.

I hung out there for about an hour and I decided that I would go home. On my way down stairs I heard a lot of yelling coming from booking. I stopped in and listened. Then the door was given to me. I went in and acted as a back up for the officer. He was dealing with an inmate who was upset. As it turns out the inmate was not getting aggressive with the officer which was good.

Then when the situation was handled I made it home.
