The sergeant, Robert Ralston, claimed that he approached a man on the railroad tracks. The man allegedly pulled out a gun and fired, striking Ralston in the shoulder before fleeing the scene.Gee, if he wanted people to think he was a hero, couldn't he have just reported a smoking car or something...?
Nice story, right? Well, Ralston made up the whole thing. [More]
