COP SEARCHING FOR GUY LOST IN WOODS GETS LOST

In Birmingham, Alabama, a man called 911 saying he ran into a forest to escape two armed men, and had gotten lost. A police officer responded to the call and dashed into the woods alone to search for the man. The officer soon located the distressed caller, but then neither of them could find their way back to the street. They wandered for three hours until they were finally located by a police K9 unit. Police have chosen not to identify the rescued officer. Spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards tried to defend him, saying: “The woods are very difficult to walk through … The officer was trying to clear a path here, clear a path there, and got turned around a little bit.” The gunmen were never found.
* Birmingham, Alabama – it’s a jungle!
* One word: Breadcrumbs.
* Why clear a path? Just follow the path the last tornado made.
* Now we just have to locate the K9 unit.
* 3 hours? I bet those dogs stretched that search out. How often do they get to run free in the woods?
* “Just pretend to be sniffing the ground. We’ve got to milk this situation.”
* “Yeah, I know they’re right over there. But do you want to go back in the cage so soon?”
