The Deputy From Hell

(1)

Which brings us quite naturally to ACSD deputy D. Kelso #00205. I finally called the ACSD this afternoon after thinking about it all week and THIS idiot showed up. He was alone. He was also wearing a Taser. I was impressed.

It was bad vibes right from the start: I was at the computer when I heard a car door slam outside around 1630 (the fan were off at the time). I went to the living room and peeked out of the patio door curtains. An ACSD squad car was parked about 50 feet east of the apartment. A single uniformed officer got out and headed in the direction of our building. I opened the patio door and waved at the approaching officer. No response although it was obvious that the officer saw me. Bad vibe. Very bad vibe. Very very bad vibe.

Deputy Kelso knocked on our door and I answered, voice recorder in hand. Kelso noticed the voice recorder immediately. The little red light was already on as I said to Kelso, 'Do you mind if I record this conversation?' Kelso replied in the negative. I informed Kelso that the nature of the crime I was reporting involved 'evesdropping' by the neighbors upstairs and that in view of the possibility they were listening I preferred to discuss the matter in his squad car. Kelso agreed and we both headed for the squad car, me in the lead.
