Cops: 'Drunken' dialer demands ride to Central America, is taken to central booking
When Ibis Rene Cabrera (pictured) allegedly called 911 last Saturday in Stuart, FL he had a rather strange request. No, he wasn't asking cops for a husband, help getting off the bumper of a moving semi, or a ride to a liquor store.
He wanted a ride back to Honduras.
While this handy distance calculator says the distance as the crow flies from Stuart to Tegucigalpa is just over a thousand miles, it's gotta be a lot longer than that by police car.
According to police, Cabrera told the operator that he did not have a job, and wanted a ride back to Honduras. A police officer responded, advised Cabrera that they did not give rides to other countries and suggested he stop calling 911. Instead, Cabrera, who cops say was intoxicated, called the emergency line seven more times in the next hour.
He was arrested for misusing the emergency line, and taken to Martin County jail.
