4Suspect Repeatedly Tased, Removes Prongs, and Resists

5Toddler's 911 Call for Donuts Leads to Goodwill Visit

Moore PD dispatchers received an accidental 911 call from a very young child who repeatedly asked for 'donuts.' After confirming with the parents that there was no actual emergency (the child used an old, deactivated phone), officers decided to pay a visit to the family's home, bringing a box of donuts. This gesture created a positive community interaction and served as a reminder that all cell phones, even old ones without SIM cards, can still call 911 if charged.

A toddler called 911 saying 'Donuts. I want donuts.' Officers confirmed no emergency with parents. Officers then delivered donuts to the family. The host noted that all cell phones, regardless of age or SIM card status, can call 911 if charged.

Lessons

  • Secure old cell phones: Be aware that even deactivated phones without SIM cards can still call 911 if they have a charged battery, requiring careful storage if children have access.
  • Maintain situational awareness: The retired deputy's quick assessment of an open door and an unexpected light on highlights the importance of noticing anomalies in your environment.
  • Understand taser limitations: Tasers may be less effective on individuals under the influence of certain drugs, necessitating additional police tactics and backup for safe apprehension.
