Lieutenant Barberwood, you have the older gentleman in a Subaru going westbound down the State Street.
00:04
I told him to stop multiple times.
00:06
He went around the barricades and is just kind of driving.
00:08
So if you can get him stopped, then just advise him he needs to get off of State Street.
00:18
Hey, we still have a lot of cars come off of side streets on the area heading south on State and Erie.
00:28
You know what, do you need to shut that down? Is someone over there?
00:33
I've got cars come off of Liberty,
00:35
south towards the state and area.
00:38
And it looks like maybe a few other side streets north of me.
00:47
All right. Copy.
00:49
Anyone available to head over there and assist? Nope.
00:56
A lot of traffic coming westbound down eastern parkway.
01:04
1017 to the barrage.
01:08
Go ahead.
01:15
I'm going to report that there's cars from state coming out to Washington.
01:22
Not from my entrance.
01:24
They're probably leaving parking lots behind the buildings.
01:28
Nobody's going down here.
01:34
Copy. Can you just look up the road there? Maybe there's some barricades that need to be set up.
01:43
Downtown Washington, see what I can do, but it doesn't look like there's any barricades.
01:48
I also just saw a car turn down in Union, or coming from Union in Washington.
01:52
So I'm not sure where they're coming from.
01:56
13.
01:58
It's lying up on the track.
02:21
And to get through from Erie on the State in West.
02:28
We're trying to move the barricades further down so they can you turn on Erie.
02:33
Go back to 890.
02:38
28 minutes of the truck plate.
02:42
The station is showing and
02:49

25.
03:02
The $10.10.
03:14
$10.
03:18
Go ahead.
03:21
Can you advise the volunteers on these going to park away and they need to shut the roads down? I just went up and they were told that they would be told them to be shutting down the roads by post office and no one's come by it.
03:33
So I'm trying to assist.
03:37
So we are headed there right in the second.
03:40
I'll be there for one.
03:43
Elsie, we're about to get a green light at the start of the line.
03:51
Copy that. Any posts that are in earshot, any volunteers get them to shut down,
03:58
and we are also driving through the more strange to find the same.
04:06
I also have the same issue.
04:08
I have a lot of traffic coming down.
04:11
We're in line right now.
04:12
Volunteers are not aware.
04:18
And they're off.
