The dispatcher replied, he would send an officer as soon as one became available as they were all out on calls. The old man waited for a few minutes and called Dispatch again.
He told Dispatch: "Don't worry about sending an officer, I shot the robbers and now the dogs are eating their bodies!"
In no time at all, police were all over the place and captured the robbers red-handed! One of the cops asked the old man: "I thought you said you shot the robber and your dogs were eating them. "
The old man replied: "I thought you said, there weren't any officers available."
