HN PHOTOS: The not-so-dull “normal” calls that keep everyone busy...

HYANNIS – The calls range from finding someone passed out in the bushes to scrambling to find a child who managed to freak their mother out by temporarily disappearing…

… they’re the “normal” Hyannis calls that may not rise to the level of “breaking news,” but they’re certainly not dull either…

In the first HN Photo, a Barnstable Police patrolman examines a finger tip with a human bite injury. As the story goes, the injured man had been drinking with his two buddies when one thing led to another and “drunken love” escalated to the level of “really dog, you wanna to go?” Which ultimately necessitated the response of several police officers and EMTs to the area of the Ocean Street docks when reports of a fight between friends ended in a finger injury. Officers had a talk with the punch-drunk young revelers who, by this point, had managed to calm down and hug things out prior to their arrival…

“I love you bro but this happens every time you get too drunk,” one of the Three Amigos could be heard telling the young man who had just Mike Tysoned his middle finger.

In the second HN Photo, a Hyannis man called police and firefighters after his neighbor simply fertilized his own lawn. The caller complained the smell of the fertilizer next-door had made him vomit. Hyannis Rescue evaluated the queasy man, who ultimately refused further treatment. Two police officers were then tied-up on scene for a period of time speaking with both neighbors. The neighbor who called the cops was offended by the fertilizer and could be heard saying he felt harassed. All-in-all, the entire call turned out to be a load of the typical neighbor-fighting-with-neighbor bullshit that basically ends up being a colossal waste of everyone’s time.

And finally in the last HN Photo, a taxi driver called police after driving a middle-aged man home from a local watering hole. The man was extremely intoxicated and fell down and could not get up after exiting the taxi. The stricken drunk suffered a nasty, bloody gash to his forehead which required a trip to the emergency room. When HN arrived on scene, the man was lying face down in his driveway telling cops to make like a tree and “get the hell out of here.” Officers and EMTs ultimately managed to convince him that sleeping it off in puddle of his own blood was not an option…
