Ride Along

Salt Lake County Weekend Grave Crew

Three weeks ago I got to finally go out with Zach on a ride along. It was a lot of fun! I meet up with him at his office about 5:30 to start his shift. First off he had to do a blood draw for another Trooper. The guy whose blood he drew was just arrested for leading the trooper on a pursuit and DUI among other things. The guy wasn't very cooperative so I got to see Zach let him know who was in charge. I thought it was great. After that we got to go out and stop some cars. For the first part of the night we stayed on the freeways. We didn't have any crashes happen that night. Then after going to eat with Zach's crew we went out and got to do Zach's favorite thing, looking for DUIs. We had some bad luck at first and had to stop a few cars before we found something. Finally we found one and it was definitely worth the wait. It was a transvestite(a guy wearing a mini skirt and high heels.) He/she/it was about 1 and 1/2 times the legal limit for alcohol. We booked he/she/it into jail and that was about it for the night. I stayed out with him for his whole shift so we got home about 5:15 AM. It was a lot of fun, and I was so happy to finally go with him. All of these guys are such hard workers, and put their lives on the line everyday for all of us. Thanks babe for taking me! Can't wait to go with you again!
