Small town police departments have it easy most of the time. There's almost never a high-speed chase, a deadly triple shooting, or a huge drug bust. Speeding tickets and the random drunk driving arrest bring the most excitement.

But the beauty of small town police departments like the one in Groesbeck -- just east of Waco -- is the level of homegrown weird that they get to encounter on a daily basis.

Take for instance this week a stoner whose dog got spooked by thunder and bit him in the buttocks, leading to the man thinking he had been shot by a firearm.

The event shook him so much that he called the Groesbeck Police Department.

Take it away, Groesbeck PD Chief of Police Chris Henson (via Facebook)

"To quell the rumor concerning a reported shooting today, I want to offer this brief explanation. We responded to a report of a shooting at a local mobile home park. Officer Cox arrived on scene first and was flagged down by a male who stated he believed he'd been shot in the left buttock while sitting on a porch.

During the course of the investigation, it was determined that the "victim" had been smoking marijuana on the porch as the thunderstorm passed through the area. The loud thunder scared one of the dogs causing it to nip the "victim" in the left buttock. He believed he'd been shot and subsequently called the police. He was treated at the scene by EMS and released."

So there you have it. In a time and age where officers in other cities aren't sure if they are coming back home each night to their families, it's refreshing that a stoner in a trailer park hepped up on schwag can bring a little levity to a dangerous, thankless job.

We've yet to hear back about what kind of dog it was that bit the man.
