Human foot? Leave it alone and call 911

RAYMOND — It’s not an everyday occurrence that a man walks into the police department with what he thinks is a human foot, but that’s what happened Aug. 1 at 10:12 a.m. at the Raymond Police Department.

“Please, I don’t want to see it,” the clerk at the police department told the man before learning that he found it near the swimming hole on Trap Creek, which is a popular summer destination for locals to escape the summer heat.

The spot along U.S. Highway 101 attracts dozens of people daily and has a gravel parking spot and a short trail down to the water. It’s one of the last places a local would ever imagine finding a human foot.

Due to the location where the foot was found, the clerk called dispatch and requested that a Pacific County Sheriff’s Office deputy respond. The man left the police department’s lobby and showed responding officers what he had found.
