Woman Swears at 911 Dispatcher Over Wandering Cows
Updated: July 3, 2009 04:14 PM

After several cows escaped into a Dodge County marsh, a woman called 911 and went into a profanity-laced tirade at the emergency dispatcher.

Tammy Nuttelman called 911 when her cows got loose and she feared they were headed for the roadway.

Dispatcher: "911. What's the location of your emergency?"

Nuttelman: "Yes, this is a **** emergency! I've got seven ****ing cows out loose maybe going to the ****ing highway!"

Dispatcher: "OK, ma'am."

Nuttelman: "You need to let everybody know there are loose cows out there! They'll probably cause a major ****ing accident, you hear me?!"

Dispatcher: "Ma'am, you need to watch your language, OK?"

Nuttelman: "I don't care! I don't need to watch nothing!"

Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls says it was Tammy Nuttelman called for help when her cows got loose but deputies didn't respond because the cows weren't causing a hazard.

Dispatcher: "Why are you yelling at me?"

Nuttelman: "Because I tried to call before and you guys said it wasn't a ****ing emergency, and this is!"

Dispatcher: "No, ma'am, it is not an emergency that the cows are in the marsh. We gave you the number for the town chair."

After the second call, deputies did respond and gave Nuttelman a citation for improper use of a telephone and abuse of 911.

Sheriff Nehls said calls like this are an example of why the job of a 911 operator is very challenging. He said he's proud of how his staff handled this particular call.

She was obviously freaking out.There's no reason for that kind of language.It doesn't seem like she is of sound enough mind to be responsible for such large animals :hmmm: Of course cows are so lazy anyway.It's not like it was a herd of stampeding bulls :dunce:

The TV station interviewed her... she finally kicked them off her property and called the police on them too.


Too bad she didn't work here (another Wisconsin resident)----

Man With Trash Bag on Head Robs Gas Station

Updated: July 6, 2009 06:57 AM
Sheboygan police are searching for a man they say robbed a gas station at gunpoint.

It happened just before 5:30 Sunday night at the Pig Stop gas station at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store on N. 15th St.

Police say the suspect had a black garbage bag over his head, with holes cut for his eyes.

Police say he pulled a hand gun and the clerk gave him cash. Police aren't saying how much cash he got.

The suspect rode off on a bike heading east on Mayflower Ave.

Here is another... A free-beer fundraiser by a bar for a drunken driver that killed someone. Seriously... they really thought it was a good idea... and it took awhile before they changed their mind.

Bar Cancels Fundraiser for Alleged Drunk Driver

Updated: July 4, 2009 06:53 PM
A Fond du Lac County bar, which has been under fire recently for planning a fundraiser for a man accused in a deadly drunk driving crash, says they are cancelling the event.

Authorities say Jay Taylor's blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit when he crashed his motorcycle on Highway 67 last May. His passenger, 31-year-old Crystal Daly, was killed.

The owners of Fatties on the Lake near Campbellsport posted flyers for a fundraiser for Taylor, advertising free beer, and other activities to raise money. But today, the owners said they were withdrawing their permit request for the event. They did not offer a reason for the cancellation. Owners had said the event was misunderstood -- and that they were also planning a memorial motorcycle ride in Crystal's honor.
