3410. I have it south side of Grand right at 24th, any yard.
00:09
I'm about to you and if it's in a go, I don't think we spoke it and leave it there.
00:25
It just jumped into the backyard.
00:28
I believe it'll be 2417.
00:39
Probably east or west alleyway.

It's on the south side of Grand.

3495, can I get you to head towards this other traffic hazard now? Patterson is 7th.
01:39

01:42
Patterson and 7th, they're advising between 1st and 7th and the Eastbound lanes.
01:47
A male in a shopping cart are walking down the middle of the street.

Hi, Gabby.
02:01
Thank you, Nicole.
02:05
Thank you. Thank you.
02:10
And again, he was last seen.
02:11
I guess he's walking westbound in the eastbound lanes.
02:15
So he's approaching first at this point.
02:21
34-10. We'll actually get it 24-15.
02:28
Carl.
02:34

It looks like it's just kind of staying in that backyard for now.
02:48
So,
02:50
I know that she already got a hold of them, but I think we'll just hold all the way we got and see if they can help us out on this.
02:59
Copy A copy, I just find you a W.
03:01

03:05
Kathy, thank you.
03:07
Hey, put it.
03:10
I'm 30492.
03:15
Can you advise though, have you noticed any erratic or weird behavior out of us?
03:23
Not really other than kind of running around in the city.
03:28
I think our main concern is just the fact that the car is going to end up hitting it or it's just right in the middle of town.
03:39
reports that it was acting erratic, I think somebody thought maybe you looked sick.
03:48
Yeah, I don't think we've got an eyes on it for very long, though.
03:52
And I don't think we'll push up on it until we get confirmation of other than CPW is going to be able to come out or not, because I don't want to spook it, and be on the run again.
04:02
Copy.
04:10
3410.
04:12
3410. I didn't have eyes on it for super long, but it doesn't look physically sick.
04:19
It's got a pretty good, healthy-looking body.
04:23
Copy, thank you.
