Tennessee residents mistake Halloween decorations for crime scene

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (WATE) – The Greene County Sheriff’s Department calmed residents after a homeowner began decorating for Halloween.

The sheriff’s department posted on Facebook asking residents to not call 9-1-1 to report a crime scene at a home.


Some residents mistook Halloween decorations in a home’s driveway as an actual human. The display shows what looks to be a human crushed by a garage door.

The sheriff’s department wrote, “Congratulate the homeowner on a great display.”
