Summary of Events:
A report came in over the emergency services line about a woman at the hospital waving around a knife and stabbing people. Officer's Baber and Manx, as well as Sergeant Snow, responded to the call.
Upon arrival at the hospital, it was determined that the call was a lie made by Miss Rickman who (when asked about the call) claimed to be an undercover officer and was "testing the response time of the DEPD". When it was verified that she is now with the DEPD, she admitted to being a "freelance" undercover officer.
Officer Manx recorded a conversation with Mr. Bernatt and Officer Baber leveled a verbal warning to Miss Rickman.
What follows is the conversation between Officer Manx and Mr. Bernatt:
Mr. Bernatt: "She was behind the desk and we were asking her to leave, then she told us the story about a women running around stabbing people, then said she was kidding then said that she was an undercover cop, then resumed to put her feet up."
Officer Manx: "...and did that happen before or after she called 911?"
Mr. Bernatt: "Before, I think."
Officer Manx: "How did she manage to call 911 when you were standing right there? "
Mr. Bernatt: "I don't know."
Officer Manx: "You were standing right there... how could you not know? Its not like you stopped for coffee."
Mr. Bernatt: "She used an office phone that's for staff only"
Officer Manx: "But you were standing right there.. Never mind.. Did you actually see her or anyone stabbing someone for shoes?"
Mr. Bernatt: "No, there wasn't. I even said earlier she made it up."
Officer Manx: "Alright, for the record, I need you name and age and we're all done."
Mr. Bernatt: "Names Howie.. Don't need my age.. Asylum guard.."
