## Resource

A raccoon got stuck on a car tire in Millis, Animal Control had to rescue it. Then, fireworks exploded inside porta-potties on Cape Cod — not once, but twice — prompting a crime scene investigation. Meanwhile, in Hopkinton, a driver tried to fake a handicap placard with a homemade “police” sign… and vanished before cops could catch them. The police blotter’s weirdest calls: furry mishaps, explosive bathrooms, and bogus badges — all in a day’s work.
