The Case of the Fallen Scarecrow: Lessons on Not Jumping to Conclusions

Police received a call to investigate a dead body in a field, which had been spotted by a passenger on a high-speed train passing by.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers used a drone to locate the supposed victim.

However, they soon discovered that the ‘victim’ was actually a scarecrow that had fallen over.

The scarecrow was described as wearing a quilted, navy coat and dark trousers, with a deflated football for a head.

According to reports from LincolnshireLive, the scarecrow had simply fallen over while on the job.

Despite the false alarm, one of the attending officers took the time to stand the scarecrow back up.

After offering some bird-scaring tips and advice, the team left the scene.

A police spokesperson made light of the situation, stating that the scarecrow had been “uprighted and given some bird-scaring tips” before being allowed to return to work.

Overall, the incident serves as a humorous reminder of the importance of verifying information before jumping to conclusions, even in seemingly serious situations.
