Hey, where are you guys taking the prisoners to?
Um, good question.
Hang on one moment.
Law enforcement center, could you hold please?
Thank you.
Thanks for hovering.
Hi, who's this?
This is law enforcement center.
Yes, who is this?
Officer Sheppy.
Hi, officer Sheppy.
My name is Michael McCarthy.
I'm calling from Fox News New York.
How are you?
I'm good.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Um, my father is Ron McCarthy, who's a police captain there.
Um, I work for Fox News New York and we're looking to get a statement either from the
mayor or the police department and I was wondering if there's someone I could talk to about that.
Okay, um, you probably call, what number did you just call?
2500.
Okay, um, I would recommend you call, you'll see which is the emergency operation center.
Okay, what's that number?
746-2685, but the problem is right now they had to evacuate them to a different location.
Okay.
So that's not going to be up, if you call it, it's just going to get me back.
Exactly.
So if you just call that back in like a half an hour, they should be up and running.
They should be up and running?
Yep.
2685?
Yep.
Thank you.
Bye bye.
Are you still holding them?
Yeah.
You were looking for the prisoners?
Yeah, where are we taking them to?
I don't want them on my street.
Um, apparently they're going to St. Mike's Church and uh...
Are they going to go to church or what?
Yeah, they're trying to reform...
No, I don't know, that's just what they told me.
That's just what I was told.
Okay, no, we just, we figured out why the mayor like, we were thinking the mayor maybe
made an off sale illegal because they were getting out tonight or something.
Oh, no, I don't think so.
I think she just didn't want any, um, I don't know what, maybe cut down on traffic or on
the DUIs.
Okay, I mean, are you guys in danger down here?
Do you need sandbaggers or anything?
Actually, we're just evacuating.
The DLC has already left and as soon as their phone lines get hooked up we're going to be
leaving too, so...
Where are you guys going to?
Um, we're going to go back over to UND.
Over to UND?
Yep.
Okay, well they're flooding there too.
Yeah, I know that.
Okay, you have a safe trip.
Alright, thank you.
