This is the second one of these stories I’ve read posted here which wasn’t funny. Do I just not get cop humor?
There’s nothing funny about ants, fire or not.
i agree that these ‘funny cop stories’ aren’t particularly funny...
Several years ago, my boss was awakened by a home invasion. After grabbing his shotgun, he then located the perp and took him into custody. He then marched the guy out of his home and gave the guy some hand cuffs while keeping the shotgun aimed at the guy’s chest. He then told the guy to put the cuffs on one wrist and then to wrap both arms around a small tree by the front door. His wife was on the phone with the cops, giving them details. Once the bad guy was secured to the tree, he lowered his gun and waited for the cops to arrive. He said that he had “forgotten” that at the base of the tree, was a nice sized fire ant mound. The officers who showed up were busy taking my boss’s statement and doing their on scene investigation while the perp was having “fun” with his new “playmates”. After some time, statements taken and everything was wrapped up, the cops hauled the bad guy off to jail and all was well.
