JUNEAU - Emergency dispatchers have a tough job. And there's no better example of that than the call from a woman who is furious that deputies won't help her with her cows. When Tammy Nuttelman called 911, she was told her escaped cows weren't an emergency. That's when she called again.NUTTELMAN: "I got seven ****ing cows out, maybe going to the ***king highway! And you need to let everybody know that there are loose cows out there! They'll probably cause a major ****ing accident, you hear me?"
As tempers rise, the dispatcher stays cool.
DISPATCHER: "Why are you yelling at me?"
NUTTELMAN: "Because I tried to call before and you guys said it wasn't a ****ing emergency, and this is!"
Friday Nuttleman didn't sound anything like the enraged woman heard on the 911 call. Tammy says she was panicked and shouldn't have yelled. "I'm sorry for talking that way to the dispatcher. And I said I'll accept the citation and it won't happen again." On the call, Nuttelman refuses to give even basic information.
DISPATCHER: "You need to give me your date of birth."
NUTTELMAN: "You come and get my date of birth."
A deputy did come to Nuttelman's home near Juneau, to give her a citation for misuse of 911. Pat Ninmann says her dispatchers were very busy when Nuttelman called, "At the time that this lady had called in, was swearing at my dispatchers, my dispatchers were working on an accident, a motorcycle accident with severe injuries." Nuttelman now says she overreacted, "I mean, who doesn't when you call 911?" She says she regrets making that call and she will pay the citation. But she is angry that the sheriff's department has released that call to the public.
Nuttleman says deputies did help her once before when her horse escaped.
Yep, I bet they did, you lunatic.

So, what do we think Jermaine sings here in a few for his bro?
smooth criminal
Kudos...
Jermaine should tell the story about how Michael backed out of appearing in that episode of Facts of Life, so Jermaine got to appear and have the sculpture of his head made by Tootie get destroyed by security who thought it was a bomb. After filming stopped, Jermaine got to poke Kim Fields. And Charlotte Rae.
I'll tell you from first hand experience that cows on the loose is indeed a serious emergency. I was nearly killed in a car crash several years back when we pummeled a cow in the dark of night going 60mph...
The craziest thing about the whole incident was getting a tongue lashing from both the local police and cow owner for killing the beast.
Commence redneck jokes....
Dennis lived in a town called "Rotund Hill". We'll just leave the Cletus jokes at that.
I agree with "Dennis" that it is no joke. I killed a full grown doe while driving from Charlottesville to Philly after a Phish show. I was going 80 MPH at midnight up whatever interstate it is that goes north out of that part of VA. Killed the deer and totaled my minivan.
I had to wait at a 24 hour gas station for a couple hours before the trooper could pick me up to head back to the car. Apparently, the county drunk got picked up and had peed all over the inside of the squad car on call a little earlier. They had to clean it before dealing with my issue. When the cop picked me up, there were plastic bags lining the back seat. I had to sit on them while riding in the back seat.
But I was lucky. If the car hood surface was lower or the deer was bigger, I would've been a goner. But the Phish show was good. So I had that going for me.
When is Alien Ant Farm performing at the ceremony? That band, as much as anybody, has the right to say that MJ changed their lives. Without that cover, they never would've gotten out from under that rock they've crawled back into.
Whoa whoa whoa...so you not only killed a deer in that minivan, but you also ruined Christmas in that minivan?
CNN should just jam themselves for devoting their entire day to this MJ thing. You're a national news network? Really?
