Next call was for an accident in which a lady was attempting to make a left hand turn from a side street. The only thing she did wrong was not look to see if any traffic was coming from her left. You guessed it! there was traffic coming from her left and she hit it good. How good do you say? Well good enough to push the other car over the median strip and into the oncoming lanes of traffic. Good thing it was Easter Sunday and there was practically no traffic on the road because it could have been a lot worse. One accident report and a Summons later I was back in service.
My next call was a follow up to a call the midnight shift handled in which a man claimed he was stabbed in his apartment. It seems like they found some more blood evidence in the apartment and wanted to speak with an officer to see if it was worth collecting as evidence. Well I get there and look around and as I'm talking to the victim he tells me that there was a knock on the door and that when he answered it the suspect started to attack him with a knife and cuts him on his hand and head. As he's telling me this I can see that he is struggling with something in his mind so I ask him what else happened. Well at this point he looks at me and says "I stabbed the guy" and I ask how did that happen and he told me that after he got cut the second time he grabbed the suspect and starting fighting with him and while they were on the ground fighting the knife fell on the floor and he picked it up and stabbed the suspect in the ribs at which time the suspect gets up and runs out of the apartment with the knife stiff stuck in his ribs. He said he was afraid to say it last night and I told him he has nothing to worry about and that I would have done the same thing if I were in his shoes. I call the on call aggravated assault detective and he comes over and interviews the guy and collects some blood samples. I leave since the detective will do the Supplement report I sure hope they catch this guy.........
I stop over at Firehouse 5 to see a friend who invited a bunch of officer's over for dinner and told him that I couldn't make it since my shift ended before dinner and that if I came home and was not hungry my wife would kill me for not eating Easter dinner at home. While I was there he was making the side dishes and by the looks of them I should have risked the beating my wife would have given me to stay and eat there. I know his crew ate well yesterday and I hope they got a chance to "sleep it off".
Last call was about 20 minutes before we end our shift. It was for an accident and it was actually not logged to me but I took it from another officer because he leave on time and not get stuck on a late call. I don't mind doing that for another officer because it has been done for me many times and C/D platoon is good for making sure we all get done on time and helping each other out. It was a single vehicle accident in which this old lady lost control of her vehicle on an on ramp, over corrected and left the roadway and ended up sitting on top of a guard rail. No injuries and the vehicle had to be towed so it was a simple accident report which I finished pretty quick. One of my partners who was staying over and working OT for evening shift came and relieved me and waited for the wrecker to come and I headed to the Precinct and printed out my FR-300 and called it a day.
I hope everybody had a good Easter.................I did.
10-7 EOT
