A pair of Modesto police officers who stopped to help a motorist Tuesday morning ended up helping the man’s wife give birth to a baby named Jesus.The officers said Jose Resendes flagged them down at about 11 a.m. He was frantically waving next to his car in the middle of McHenry Avenue and Orangeburg Avenue.Officers said as they stopped to investigate, they discovered a female in the front seat who was in labor.

Officers Steve Anderson and Ben Kroutil were driving their marked black and white patrol cars southbound on McHenry when they saw Resendes.

“You could tell he was serious. There was no joking around, and I knew he wasn’t kidding,” Anderson said.

The officers then directed Mr. Resendes into the nearby Chevron gas station lot.

It quickly became clear that Jose Resendes’ wife, Brenda Resendes, was in labor and that the baby had already partially delivered, officers said. According to the police report, without hesitation, both officers assisted with the successful delivery of a baby boy as the Brenda Resendes remained seated in the car.

Police arrested a 28-year-old man Sunday on a cruelty to animals charge after he yelled an obscenity at a police dog in a patrol vehicle, according to an arrest affidavit.

Moses Rogers Jr. faces a disorderly conduct charge in connection with the 2:24 a.m. incidents. Police say Rogers yelled an obscene statement in the window as he walked past a patrol vehicle that contained a patrol dog “causing (the dog’s) behavior to become overloaded, tormenting the dog,” the affidavit states.

Cruelty to animals for a word? What, did the dog get it’s feelings hurt? I could see a charge of abuse to an officer since the dog is an actual officer. Man.

This reminds me of a story a police officer in my church in Ft. Worth told me. His family adopted a retired “police dog” and he became their pet. The officer’s daughter took the police dog for a walk and went to a neighbors house. The dog began to rip up the couch in the neighbors house and found cocaine. I guess the police dog can retire but you can’t retire his “NOSE.”

This has to be one of the most idiotic laws I’ve ever seen. Now the Police have to cultivate seized pot because it might be “medical.” Something is wrong here. I see way too many people taking advantage of this.

Watch the guy who says he would be glad to help the police grow the pot. Unbelievable!
