911 Is Not A Cab Company
C’mon you’ve been there, stranded, drunk alone on the side of the
road at closing time with no ride in sight. Not exactly your smartest
move ever. Ok, fair enough. But, it’s happened to the best of us. And
really, it’s not the situation it’s how you handle it that marks the
measure of a man. Right?
Well, one Benton Harbor, MI man handled the situation so poorly, we’re branding him the Dumb Criminal of the Day.
According
to police, Jorge Murillo, called 911 to report that he had been kidnapped
and robbed early Wednesday morning. But when officers arrived at his
location, they found him obviously "inebriated"; He then allegedly admitted the made the whole thing up just to get a ride home from cops.
He is charged with disorderly conduct and making a false public agency service report.
But hey, at least he didn’t call 911 and claim "I am them” after getting behind the wheel drunk. And for that he is very smart.
While police were responding to this, there was probably a real crime going on that needed their attention. What a waste.
