Dummy?

This probably is not news, but we are going to do it anyway. Yesterday afternoon the Cross Plains Fire Department, EMS, and the Robertson County Sheriffs Office were called to a report of a possible hanging. The report said it appeared that someone may have hung themselves from a tree near Ruby Keith and Woodrow Wilson in the Cross Plains area.

When crews arrived they found a dummy hanging from the tree. Fire officials said it looked like it might have been there for a while, but it was wearing overalls and could easily look convincing from a distance. One of the agencies told Smokey Barn News that this was not the first time they have been called out to investigate a dummy.
