Obviously it’s from Western Nevada County, California:

SWAT Team Requested for Violent Midgets

Details, alas, remain sketchy but here’s what we have so far:

At 12:32 p.m., a caller from West McKnight Way reported steroid-using body-builders from Reno had beaten up the caller’s son and might have killed him.

Midgets from Fulton Avenue had been following and trying to poison the caller. The body-builder and the lead female midget, who the caller reported as being “really violent,” allegedly had been driving the caller’s truck. The caller wanted the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office to activate the SWAT team.

God bless America.
