There are a boatload of characters that live in Rich County, Utah.
One of them is Gary Ogilvie.
If you were to see him at church or waiting in line for a raspberry shake at one of the fast food joints by Bear Lake, you’d just see a pleasant, mild-mannered gentleman.
But Gary has quite the past.
He’s been a police officer down on the Wasatch Front, a sheriff in Rich County, a Utah highway patrol officer, an internal affairs investigator for the Utah Department of Corrections, and an adult probation and parole supervisor. And a miner and many other things.
And, boy, does he have some stories.
Most with him wearing the badge, but others when he wasn’t wearing the badge. For example, Gary was himself hauled in by the cops when he was a teen.
Gary wrote many of his stories down in a journal, and I had the privilege of reading them one day a year or two ago. They were fabulous. Some were funny, some shocking, some poignant.
The good news for you is that Gary has recorded a number of them on YouTube. He did this for his grandkids, but you and I get to benefit.
If you enjoy real life cop stories, many with a humorous twist, and good-humored narrators, then you’re going to love listening to Grandpa O’s Stories over on YouTube.
In fact, I don’t think you’ll be able to listen to just one.
My bet is you’ll want to hear the next and the next.
Loved stories. Thank you.
