an 1834 Beth Eden Road, Ben Hughes, killed a coyote, and he thinks the coyote is rabid, and he wants somebody to come take a look at it. Let me know what the outcome of that is. Here we are. What did you say he thought the problem with the coyote was?

Rebid. Thought it was rabid, and he shot it. If he shot it and didn't shoot in the head, we're just going to have to point him to get him to contact, Deheck, if you just want to tell them that, or you can give it to our dispatch, and I'll give him a call. He'd already called DeHick, DPAs, whatever they call it now. He'd already called them.

All right, I appreciate it. Sheriff is Cam. They will not test unless it is bitten somebody, so he can dispose of it. Nobody else is going to do anything else.
