Summary

In the heart of Hot Springs National Park, a bustling tourist haven in Arkansas, a routine Sunday afternoon erupts into chaos when 31-year-old Jonathan Allen Scott strides down Central Avenue, shotgun in hand, murmuring to himself and claiming to be a Secret Service agent. As panicked 911 calls flood in, officers race to confront the armed man amid crowds of vacationers—but what begins as a tense standoff spirals into a deadly shootout, leaving an officer, his loyal K9 partner, and Scott himself wounded in a hail of bullets and ricocheting shrapnel. Delve into the gripping true story of that fateful July day in 2019, exploring Scott's troubled past riddled with arrests, probation violations, and untreated mental health struggles—from minor misdemeanors to assaults on law enforcement. Hear from witnesses who tried to help, local shop owners shaken by the violence, and the officers who faced unimaginable danger. Uncover how a federal investigation led to Scott's 20-year prison sentence, and reflect on the broader questions of mental illness, gun access, and the split-second decisions that define life-or-death encounters. And on the Happy Ending, a woman is convinced that her "medicine" can only be taken orally... using a syringe, keystered away in a... private place. Support the show: https://patreon.com/1159media

0:00.0	This is the 911 calls podcast with The Operator.
0:15.8	The last time we talked, I asked you what you thought about body cam footage and whether you felt
0:21.6	it was worthy of being included. The poll has spoken you like, or at least are okay with
0:29.5	body cam footage and audio. And I'm actually excited about that. The number of potential cases
0:35.8	that I've catalogs for episodes grows exponentially
0:39.8	knowing that I've got your support. Same great podcast. Now with even more of people's worst
0:46.3	moments captured in pristine audio and shaky cam. It's going to be terrible. You're going to love it.
0:53.9	You know what's funny about tourist towns? They're like those Instagram versus reality posts.
1:00.0	On the surface, it's all quaint gift shop, dopamine depots and overpriced artisanal ice cream cones.
1:08.0	But sometimes the reality hits harder than a sock full of trinkets to the face.
1:13.8	I'm the operator, and this is allegedly another episode of this podcast, my 191st attempt at making
1:21.9	sense of senseless situations. Speaking of tourist spots, that hide dark secrets, let me tell you about
1:30.5	Hot Springs, Arkansas. Now, if you're thinking Hot Springs, isn't that just where old folks
1:36.5	go to soak their bunions? Well, you're not entirely wrong, but this town has more layers
1:42.8	than a passive aggressive southern compliment.
1:46.5	Hot Springs National Park is actually America's oldest national park, predating Yellowstone by over 40 years.
1:55.4	Who cares, you might be asking?
1:57.4	Well, the people at your next barbecue who came just to hear your next round of useless
2:01.4	facts do. I know there's a legion of you useless fact factories out there, and I'm a sweatshop
2:07.6	for useless facts. You're welcome. I'll keep making more. Hot Springs sits in Garland County,
2:15.4	Arkansas, about 55 miles southwest of Little Rock.
2:19.6	And if your ADHD brain just asked, I wonder if there's a Big Rock, Arkansas.
