If You Feel Compelled To Call The Police To Ask About The Phases Of The Moon

Don’t be surprised if you get arrested.

A deputy who responded to each call eventually met the man in the middle of Poppy Street for the last one.

“I asked the defendant if he had an emergency,” Deputy Michael Brake wrote in his report. He “replied he did not have an emergency but did have a question.”

Then the man pointed to the moon and asked, “Is that a half moon?” according to the report.

“I asked the defendant if he dialed 911 to ask the question,” Brake said. The man said he did.
