Some places have drama. Others have mystery. Nevada County? We have a beautiful, chaotic cocktail of both—served daily through our police call logs. It’s a place where peacocks cause civil unrest, old cans trigger bomb scares, and even Mother Nature apparently gets petty. With Call Log Diaries #11, we’re once again diving into some of the finest calls recently reported, complete with summaries and a touch of humor — because honestly, if we didn’t laugh, we’d probably have to call 911 ourselves.
Special Delivery (of Regret)
An envelope was sent to an inmate at Wayne Brown Correctional Facility containing a surprise bonus—drugs.
Some people send letters of hope. Others… send “Breaking Bad: The Stationery Edition.”
The Environment Is Plotting Against Me
A caller reported environmental harassment involving trash, secret violent symbolism, and ominous vibes meant to make her seem unstable. Suspect identified: “The Environment.”
Mother Nature is tired of your littering and is now gaslighting you personally. Good luck fighting the defendant… Earth.
Peacock Problem Hotline
Caller requested a phone consult regarding an “ongoing peacock issue” terrorizing the neighborhood.
When your neighborhood beef turns into fowl play. Hope Animal Control has feathers in their cap for this one.
Bombs Away… Or Not
Caller believed they found bombs near the disc golf course at Western Gateway Park, but after inspection, it turned out just to be an old can.
Explosive discovery: confirmed to be nothing more than an expired can of “Spegehtti-No’s”
Hogging the Front Lawn
Caller reported a 300-lb pig napping in front of his house. No owner could be contacted. A note on the fence was the next best step.
Sometimes life brings you unexpected guests. Sometimes that guest is Babe’s heavier, less ambitious cousin.
Cleaning Gone Wrong
A caller reported an accidental gunshot wound to the hand while cleaning a firearm.
On a serious note, please always practice firearm safety and remember these basic rules when handling a firearm:
Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
Keep the gun pointed in the safest possible direction.
Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Know your target, its surroundings and beyond.
Know how to properly operate your gun.
