LIVINGSTON, TX – In a stunning display of “Emergency Texas Hospitality,” local resident Jeb Jenkins has been caught repeatedly calling 911 for minor inconveniences such as running out of sweet tea, his dog barking too loudly, and his neighbor’s cows wandering onto his property.

When questioned about his reasoning, Jenkins defended his actions, stating, “I just thought maybe the good folks over at the sheriff’s office could lend a helping hand, y’know, like how we do things ‘round here in East Texas – neighbor helpin’ neighbor.”

Despite multiple warnings from dispatchers and law enforcement officials, Jenkins continues to dial 911 for non-emergencies, insisting that it’s all in the spirit of Southern hospitality.

Sheriff Joe Thompson expressed frustration with the situation, stating, “We are here to help our community in times of real emergency, not to cater to every little inconvenience that arises. We can’t have deputies playing dog whisperer or sweet tea delivery service.”

In response to the growing number of unnecessary calls, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office has taken steps to educate residents on the appropriate use of emergency services. They have even launched a new campaign titled “Think Before You Dial” in hopes of curbing the trend of frivolous 911 calls.

Despite the backlash, Jenkins remains undeterred, insisting that his actions are simply a reflection of the warm and welcoming nature of East Texans. “If callin’ 911 for a fresh batch of biscuits and gravy is wrong, then I don’t wanna be right,” he declared defiantly.
