0:00.0 | Hey, heads up in case you're listening with kids. One of the guests in this episode curses |
0:10.0 | like a sailor. Fun fact, he's an actual sailor, so he's earned it. Okay, here's the show. |
0:17.2 | Debbie had just gotten off her shift. She was a police officer in Louisville, Kentucky, |
0:22.3 | and she was finally driving home. It was a little after midnight. Super foggy. |
0:28.4 | I'll look up and I see something going on in the median and the intersection. I thought |
0:32.8 | it was a wreck. I pulled up to it and it turned out that one of our local sheriffs had actually |
0:39.0 | been attempting to make an arrest, and they were fighting in the median. I noticed that |
0:45.3 | the prisoner, or the, going to be a prisoner, actually had one handcuff on. That's a very |
0:51.8 | dangerous situation for officers if they're slinging that handcuff around. It can be pretty |
0:56.9 | deadly if it hits you. So I jumped out of the car real quick and helped him finish handcuff |
1:01.8 | and the guy. There was another problem though. The sheriff's car didn't have a barrier between |
1:08.6 | the front and back seats. Patrolling wasn't part of the sheriff's normal duties. He just happened |
1:13.5 | to catch this guy drinking and driving. But Debbie did have a patrol car, so even though she was off |
1:19.0 | duty, she said she'd drive the prisoner to the police station. She put him in her car, then went |
1:24.6 | back to check on the sheriff. And all of a sudden, just the weirdest sound out of the darkness, |
1:29.0 | out of this fog, you hear this baby crying. Wait on top of everything, did Debbie need to rescue a baby? |
1:37.9 | Nope, it was Debbie's baby crying in the front passenger seat of her car. This was 1984, and back then, |
1:45.8 | it was legal, even common to put your car seat up front. So I started towards the car and when I got |
1:51.6 | to the car, this guy who had been fighting and spitting and yelling and just, you know, been crazy, |
1:58.6 | was leaned up his forehead against the shield and he was crying and he was saying, it's okay, baby, |
2:05.7 | stop crying. It was so comical. So she just reduced him to mush. |
2:14.9 | This is the longest shortest time. I'm Hillary Frank and that baby, she's all grown up now. |
