Dumb Reasons Pinal County Residents Call the Cops: "A Man Was Playing a Saxophone"

Deputies at the Pinal County Sheriff's Office have a tough job: they have to take orders from Captain Underpants Sheriff Paul Babeu, they have to wrangle all of those illegals Babeu talks about on TV, and they have to deal with the rest of the stuff reported to PCSO -- like the person who called to report that "a man was playing a saxophone."

What we're saying is, some people call the cops for the dumbest reasons, and we've found some very dumb stuff that people in Pinal County phone into the Sheriff's Office.

The Southeast Valley Ledger publishes PCSO's weekly crime log, which just includes a sentence with the "what," the "when," and if someone's arrested, the "who" -- you can find the reports from the last couple of months by clicking here.

Or, you can keep reading this post, as we've cherry-picked the dumbest -- or in some cases, legitimate, but weird -- reasons people have phoned up the Sheriff's Office, just over the last month. Enjoy.
