By

Following are recent reports filed by members of the Hennessey Police Department:

Medical emergency – Possible heat stroke on South Oak Street, Tuesday, June 14, at 8:58 p.m.

Fire report – Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Office re-ported call of a small grass fire at E 610 Road and N 2920 Road at 11:59 p.m. Saturday, June 18. Brush Pumper sent, unable to locate fire.

Pursuit – An officer saw a white Cadillac drive past Energy Meter Systems south on U.S. Highway 81 at a high rate of speed Thursday, June 2, at about 11:26 p.m. and took pursuit.

Radar indicated the vehicle was traveling 98 mph, according to the report.

The vehicle made a u-turn in the highway and came toward the police unit, then turned east on 650 Road and continued straight on a gravel road, the report shows.

That vehicle lost control and fish-tailed after hitting a dip in the roadway, then the vehicle regained control and continued east. The officer advised dispatch he was in pursuit and to notify the KCSO.

He notified dispatch at 11:33 p.m. that he’d lost sight of the vehicle at about 610 and 2890 roads and terminated pursuit. Two officers later searched the area for fresh tire tracks.

Man in roadway sent by God – On Friday, June 3, at 2:20 a.m. on Main Street near the Conoco station, a man was standing in the roadway. When the man, later identified as Scott Schoepflin, 57, Edmond, saw the officer, he walked back to the Conoco, the report says.

The officer notified dispatch that he had stopped when he saw a man with long hair wearing white long johns, no shoes and whose feet appeared to be yellow.

The report shows that when the officer asked why he was in the roadway, the man said he was sent to Hennessey by God to pray and to wave at the next person driving by.

He told the officer he had not been drinking and wasn’t on drugs, according to the report.

When asked, he told the officer he was married and has two children, the report said. Schoepflin asked the officer several times if he’d done anything wrong.

The officer said no, but was worried about him because his feet looked yellow, the report said. Schoepflin said he had been an ICU nurse and asked the officer if he had a medical degree, the report said.

His wife was contacted and she said her husband hit his head on the concrete, but a CT scan only showed a concussion, the report said.

She told the officer a psychologist had checked him out and found that he was “coherent,” but “just highly religious,” according to the report.

At 4:30 a.m., the officer spoke with Schoepflin again and told him his wife was worried about him.

Schoepflin asked again if he’d broken any laws and if not, he wasn’t answering any more questions, and rolled up the window on his truck, the report stated.

At 7 a.m., Schoepflin and his vehicle were gone, the report shows.
