Hey guys, How is everybody? I just had to tell the story of what happened <br />to me on Friday night, the night before deer season opened. I guess one <br />would just have to be in Lawrence County during deer season to realize that <br />not all of the people that you deal with are playing with a full deck. I <br />had just pulled off the road to try to find a quiet place to eat a sandwich <br />after workinhg very hard most of the night. About half way thru my <br />sandwich, I saw a silver van drive past me on the main road very slowly. <br />They couldn't see me because I had my lights off. Then BANG!!!! The driver <br />shot from the road. I immediately stopped the vehicle and asked why he did <br />that. He said he just wanted to wake up his buddies who were in the back <br />asleep. He said he shot up in the air with a .22 and threw it over the hill <br />when I turned on the blue lights. I spoke to the front passenger who <br />claimed he was sleeping thru it all. I found a .41 caliber revolver laying <br />perfectly in front of the front tire. Of course no one knew whose gun it <br />was or where it came from. I called in the K-9 unit from Pike County to <br />help find the .22 he claimed to have thrown out. After several Game <br />Wardens, Deputies and State Troopers came, we searched for the gun. The dog <br />did not find any gun but found a dead three point buck laying beside the <br />road where he shot. It had a huge hole in its forehead, obviously not from <br />a .22 but from the .41. I arrested all four men in the van and charged them <br />with everything from numerous Fish and Wildlife charges to open alcohol <br />container and Carrying Concealed Weapons. Again I asked the driver <br />(shooter) to see his identification to fill out the paperwork. He handed me <br />his police I.D. He was a deputy from Floyd County. I told him ,"Now let me <br />get this straight. You just shot up in the air with a .22 and the deer beside <br />you fell over dead with a heart attack and a mysterious hole in its head and <br />then out of all the places to pull over they pulled right up to the .41 <br />revolver perfectly without running over it." What a genuis!!!
