Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Thought i'd share this incident with you all.......had a call about a week ago of a loss prevention officer reporting that he had an adult female shoplifter in custody and that she was giving him problems. Long story short, he proceeding to say that he was at the " Stop and Shop " on Main Street in Middletown (which we have none) and needed assistance. When my dispatcher kept telling him that we didn't have a " Stop and Shop " , he became very irate. He couldn't believe that we didn't know where he was. We have a Main Street but ours ran north and south, his ran east. He eventually hung up on the dispatcher. She sent officers to our Main Street, but of course no " Stop and Shop " existed. After some extensive digging and surfing the net, I found a " Stop and Shop " in Middletown Conneticut!! I called the store and their pd and explained the situation. It ended up being chalked up to 411 Directory Assistance. They seem to think that the loss prevention officer dialed 411 on his cell phone and asked for Middletown Police. He reached Middletown Ohio which is about 800 miles away.... Anyway, just thought i'd share this.
