Mammoth Lakes Police make a case for small town charm.
Much like the police department of any town, when a storm comes pouring in; so do the many calls. During the last storm, the MLPD responded to a call for a driver who had lost control of his truck around a bend.
No one was hurt, but in the shuffle back to the roadway the driver lost his wedding ring in the snow.
The man has since returned to San Diego with his wife. On a sunny day this past week, Mammoth Police took advantage of a lull in calls, and headed over to the ring’s location with a metal detector. After moving about briefly, Detective Hornbeck’s detector began to sound and the precious ring was found.
Mammoth Police Chief Dan Watson commented: “I’d like to add that this is the type of service that small town policing provides. I have encouraged our personnel to do whatever they can to solve a problem and not be satisfied with simply doing what is required…And,” said the Chief, ”I’m guessing the owner is no longer in hot water with his wife.”
Our hats are off to you MLPD!
Cheers from the Mammoth RBO Team!
