19 Nov 08 – “Near zero temperatures Tuesday night caused the number of 911 emergency calls to slow to just a trickle for Greenville County sheriff’s deputies, who were jumping with 3 robberies the night before, a spokesman said.

“We usually have 200 to 300 calls a night, said Lt. Tim Ridgeway, a sheriff’s spokesman. Right now, we’ve only had a handful of calls.

“Ridgeway attributed the fall off in calls for service to the cold weather. The temperature at 11 p.m. was 33-degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
