You hear us talk a lot about scanner traffic. Well, if you're interested in what some of those codes mean, we do have a full article and a shorter article on both the most commonly used 10 codes and the full list. We understand it can sound confusing and vague at times. That's the nature of scanner traffic. We've been reminding people for the last 17 years of operating Panhandle Scanner, and before that, Scotts Bluff County Scanner, that scanner traffic is rarely 100% accurate. In fact, most of the time it's not. It is preliminary information that law enforcement and dispatchers are using to begin an investigation into an incident.
Please keep this in mind as we post daily scanner traffic that includes some odd details, such as Big Springs Emergency. Last night around 7:18 Mountain Time at the Flying J in Big Springs, there was a verbal 10-34. That is a fight or altercation. With a male and a female left in the vehicle, female screaming for help, silver car, no plates, left, westbound. Description of the male was six foot, blonde Hawaiian shirt and black pants. The female had a ponytail and camo pants.
Or the vehicle in the ditch with a driver. Scanner traffic was indicating on Highway 71 last night a black midsize SUV. Possible 10-44, which means non-injury accident. But the driver was laying across the front seat, pulled off in a ditch. A passerby smelled 10-40 or drugs.
And there have been a couple of car fires and dog bites recently. One happened yesterday in Terrytown on West Street.
