Cop Humor: Chompers and the Missing Teeth

We’re starting a new series today on ITS Tactical where I’ll be sharing some funny stories from the mean streets of Florida. These will be short stories that I either thought were comical, or dispatched calls that will make you scratch your head.

The first one is a call I was dispatched to several years ago…

Chompers

The call came in as follows:

“Boyfriend has her teeth and wont give them back. He’s walking to the store, but should be back when Deputies arrive.”

So I show up with my sector partner and we find our complainant is indeed missing her teeth (dentures).   She had an argument with her boyfriend and he took her teeth with him when he went for a walk. It turned out  her boyfriend bought her the teeth and was still making payments on them, making it a simple civil matter.

I guess that was one way to keep her quiet… Only in a Florida trailer park!
