Breaking, entering, and murder?

     One of the Vets I work with had a C-section late last night at the clinic.  They were just about finished, when the owner of the cow asked if they could send him home with a bottle of Penicillin to treat the cow with.  So Randy (the Vet working on the cow) sends the tech that's helping him out up front to the Pharmacy to grab a bottle of Penicillin for the owner.
     Keep in mind that the office sits in not the nicest part of town, so a few years back the owners of the building installed a security system in the Pharmacy.  When you enter you need to punch in a code to disarm the security system.  It was late and the tech was tired, so somehow he missed the beeping noises that remind you to disarm the system.  He just ran to the cooler, grabbed the Penicillin.  Ran back out the door, and left the system going off.
     Well, when this happens the security company tries calling the Pharmacy.  If you've accidentally set the alarm off you pick up the phone, and tell them the code and they shut it off.  If no one answers the phone (and there being no phone in the back where we do the surgeries of course no one heard the phone or answered it) they then call the senior partner in the office at home.  This is what they did.  They asked him if he would like them to send the police over to check on the building.  He of course didn't know what was occurring at the Clinic, and he said "Send them over please."
     The C-section being complete, the owner loads the cow on the trailer and heads for home.  The tech having everything cleaned up also heads for home.  Randy still had a few things to grab from his office though.  So he heads over there.  That's when he notices flashlights shining through the front windows.  Randy being a big fellow, and not scared of much heads up front to see what's going on.  He promptly opens the door and asks "Can I help you?!"
     The people that he confronted were the officers who'd been sent over to check on the building.  They take one look at Big R all covered in blood from having just finished the C-section, and being in a building where the security alarm has been set off suspiciously, and they instantly trade their flashlights for their guns.
"Sir step back and slowly raise your arms over your head."
     I mentioned that Randy is big and not scared of much, but having to guys pointing guns at you even if they are police officers is enough to do the trick.  Lucky for Randy he was already dirty and needed to go home shower, and wash his clothes.  It helped hide the mess that he made in his pants.
