MAN, LOCKED OUT OF HOTEL ROOM, CALLS 911 INSTEAD OF JUST GOING TO THE FRONT DESK

A Fort Myers, Florida, man called 911 requesting an ambulance for his 4-year-old daughter, who was supposedly choking on candy and alone in his hotel room. He told the dispatcher he was locked out of his room at the Crestwood Suites and there wasn’t anyone at the hotel available to help him back into the room. The fire department, paramedics, and deputies responded with emergency lights and sirens blasting. When they arrived, they could not find the man who made the call. Deputies went to the room number given to them by the man. That’s when the guy came around the corner and, pointing at all the lights and sirens, said “all of this” was not necessary. There was no child. He admitted lying about his daughter because he locked himself out of the room and simply wanted to get back in. The man was arrested for misuse of the 911 system.
* At least he gets a free bed for the next few days.
* From locked out to locked in.
* What was the plan for when they opened the door? Claim his daughter was invisible?
* “She must have gotten out through the air vents, like in the movies.”
* Maybe today’s word should be “proportionality”, people.
* That just means there has to be some kind of connection between the size of the problem and what you do about it.
* In this case: being locked out of your motel room is not that big a deal. Unless you’re this clown.
* Actually, he was holding back with his response. His first instinct was to ram his car through the motel’s walls.
* It’s like being asked to vote for a president and then electing Trump or Hillary. Where’s the proportionality?
