Call 911 For Ride to Miami: Get The Heat
Today we're adding to our classic reasons not to call 911. You may remember dumb ditties such as the guy who allegedly reported his pot stolen, and the drunk dude who complained because his family hid the liquor. Another shout out goes to the ladies whose stupid reasons for making emergency calls on their men included: not eating their supper or lying about wanting to get married.
Meet Jose Armando Rodrigues, pictured. He’s a 32-year old man who allegedly called 911 twice from his cell phone to claim someone was trying to kill him. But in reality, police say, he was in a friend's car that had broken down on I-95 and got tired of waiting.
According to Boyton Beach, FL police department Rodrigues admitted. “OK, I will tell you the truth. Nothing happened. I just want a ride to Miami and figured you would give me one.”
Rodrigues is charged with abuse of the 911 system and giving false information about a crime to a law enforcement officer.
Congratulations Jose and welcome to our Dumb 911 calls Hall of Fame!
