Deputy and
Dispatcher
Lambasted
To the Editor: ; On Feb. 13 between 5:30 and 6 a.m. I was awakened by a phone call from the Sheriffs Department. The dispatcher was trying to get in touch with a family member of mine. . My first thought was that someone had been in an accident or there was a death in the family. What a scary feeling that early in the morning.
I can’t believe that Deputy Williams would have the dispatcher call my house that early in he morning to tell me about a bag of trash he found on the road and he wanted it picked up, and it wasn’t even mine. (Get Real.) ! I’m sure Deputy Williams had a (vay of getting in touch with that person without calling my house, especially that time of the morning. Just because he was up that time of the morning doesn’t mean everyone else was. . There have to be more important things for a deputy to do than to go through a bag of trash at 5:30 in the morning to see who it belongs to and call someone who has nothing to do with it.
This was very inconsiderate of the dispatcher and Deputy Williams.
I hope both of you think twice before you do something like this again to someone else.
If some of the real emergency cases were handled like you did this *s*bsrg-of trash maybe Rappahannock County would be a better and safer place to live.
