2006-12-28 |
Knoxville, TN - One good prank deserves another. That's what these Knoxville Fire Department investigators figured when they turned the tables on a suspect in a rash of bogus reports of emergencies. With only a cellular phone number as a clue, KFD Capts. Brent Seymour, Jeff Stooksbury and Doug Conard came up with a ruse to ferret out the identity of the felonious prankster. "I left a message that the phone's owner had won a gift card from a major retailer," Seymour testified Wednesday in Knox County General Sessions Court. "I said I needed a name and address to send the gift card to." |

#3 I live about 90 miles from Knoxville but I'm so far out in the sticks I never heard about it. I did hear that Wade's heifer calved two days ago and Scott saw a bear in the field behind his house. Seriously, good job by the Knoxville FD. |
