PRANK CALL
A prank ambulance call
Thursday night resulted
wasted time and money on
part of two ambulances, county
and Chattanoogo officers.
Hobert Wilhite, operator
the Plaza Courts and the Dade
Ambulance Service in
England Ga., reports he re¬
ceived a call Thursday night
and says that the person who
held the telephone did not talk
but he heard someone near
the phone say “Tell him that
some one on Sand Mountain
has been hurt and would meet
him on the square in Trenton",
and then they hung up.
Minutes after the local call,
a call came from Chattanooga
that a Bryan Ambulance had
been cleared through police
traffic channels, and just as he
(Wilhite) drove out onto the
highway the Bryan Ambulance
came over the hill at New
England.
They came on to Trenton
where Wilhite stopped, the
CJiaLtanooga ambulance moti¬
oned for him to follow. The
Bryan Ambulance had recived
instructions to go to the td£> of
Sand Mountain to the first gas
station on the left. When they
got to the top they found noth¬
ing, as did the approximately
100 cars who followed them.
Everyone has heard of the
little boy who hollered 'Wolf"
too often, but ambulances
will go to a s^ene when called
because they never know weth¬
er it’s a prank call or not, how¬
ever it is a bad joke. Mr, Wil¬
hite says he thinks the call
was put through by a group of
young people probably at a
party who wanted to see which
ambulance would get to Tren¬
ton first, as the calls were
timed so the two ambluances
would be close togeather.
As for the string of cars who
followed the ambulances, it is
a dangerous thing to do and
in some states it is against the
law. It hinders the service of
jthje units, wheather it is
ambulance or fire engines.
Mike Nethery Injured
Mike Nethery, 11, was injured
slightly Friday when struck by
a car driven by Bob Reeves,, of
South Trenton.
Mike, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Nethery of Trenton was
riding his bicycle when he ap¬
proached the street between the
Georgia Power Company and
the El Rancho Courts and was
struck by the slow moving car.
Mike was knocked onto the
hood of the car and smashed
the windshield in front of the
driver. He suffered two head
cuts requiring four stitches to
close the wounds.
He was taken to Tri-County
Hospital in a Moore ambulance
with Don Gross driving because
the regular driver was out on
call.
