One Michigan police department is limiting its service calls because record-high gas prices has rapidly depleted its fuel budget.

The Isabella County Sheriff's Office posted a statement to Facebook on Tuesday explaining the agency "is feeling the pain at the pump as well."

"We have exhausted what funds were budgeted for fuel with several months to go before the budget reset," the statement explained.

Because of the budget depletion, Sheriff Michael Main has ordered his deputies to begin responding to certain service calls via telephone. Only calls that do not require an in-person response will be fielded by phone.

"I have instructed the deputies to attempt to manage whatever calls are acceptable over the phone," the Facebook post explained. "These would be non-in-progress calls, non-life-threatening calls, and calls that do not require evidence collection or documentation."

The police department can thank Biden for those gas prices.

Of course, WE will not be offered the opportunity to check their odometers.

I am completely certain that the same number of miles will be driven.

This is an opportunity to be even more lazy than usual.
