Police were called to a location on Kelly’s Ferry Road initially on a crash with no injuries. Upon arrival, police found a white Ford Explorer in the roadway that appeared to have broken down. The driver said they were driving down Kelly’s Ferry Road and hit a low hanging wire but continued a short distance down the road where his vehicle broke down. While other units stayed with the family, the officer drove down the street and spoke with the caller who wished to remain unnamed. They said they heard a loud noise outside of their home and went to see what was going on. That person said they saw the white Ford Explorer with what appeared to be a white rope attached to a long black telephone wire that is used along the poles throughout the city. The reporting person said when they yelled, “Hey, what are you doing?” the truck was pushed down the hill and the phone cable was abandoned. The officer saw the cable was about 300 feet long. The cable was removed from the roadway. The driver had a friend come and jump the vehicle.

Police were sent to apartments on 1348 Passenger St. as 911 Emergency Services Dispatch was receiving consistent calls to 911 from a phone line located at the address. Each time the line was answered no one was speaking and a slight echo from the call taker could be heard. Once the line was disconnected it would immediately call back and be answered. Several officers walked the property in attempts to locate the land line that was calling 911. They found a vacant apartment with its patio door and windows open on the 2nd floor. They gained entry into the building and found that unit unlocked. They opened the door and announced it was CPD and made entry. The unit was vacant and no phones were found.
