Not all calls are as they seem

A citizen reported finding a large clear baggie with several smaller baggies filled with green material inside.  It was found Thursday along S West Bay Shore Drive in Bingham Township.  A deputy responded and determined that the substance was actually decomposing lettuce!  It was not known how or why the bags ended up along the road.

Glen Arbor Fire & Rescue received a call from a man who said he was sinking in quicksand.  There was no call back number available or a location where the man was located.  Sheriff's deputies and fire officials believed the call was a hoax.

A Leelanau Township man called to report that he was being threatened by another man who was blowing leaves across the street.  A deputy responded and spoke to the two parties.  No enforcement action was taken.
