Forest Grove Police Log excerpt, 9 August 2017

Here is the excerpt from the log of local police activity. Just a little insight into what goes on in a small city.

July 31
* A citizen reported that an unknown person from Alabama used his credit card to purchase pizza.
* A man called and yelled at a dispatcher refusing to answer questions about the issue he was calling about. The man later yelled at officers and called back to report to dispatch that he was a better cop and had a higher IQ than the officers he spoke to. In a conversation later in the evening, the man calmed down and thanked police for treating him with respect and offering good advice.
August 2
* A woman contacted police to report that library staff members were worshiping Satan.  Officers found no explicit evidence of occult activity occurring at the library. 

 Several incidents included this week, and there were a few more that could have been used in a leaner week.

It is good to know that there is no evidence of Satan worship at the library. All my interactions there have been pleasant and professional, without even a hint of deference to the Prince of Evil.

It is also interesting that at least one fellow resident believes out of state pizza purchase is worthy of a call to the police.

Finally, I'm interested in this citizen experiencing large mood swings in his interactions with the police. What could have prompted either the initial contact, or the subsequent change of heart?
