ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. -- A 20-year-old man has been
arrested for misusing 911 after asking police to escort him to a
concert in Miami.
Deputies say Michael Kruse of Jacksonville initially called
911 because he felt sick on June 21.
The call went into the 911 call center in St. Johns County.
Kruse's speech was slurred and the dispatcher had difficulty
understanding him.
Dispatch: "Are you sure you haven't taken something sir?
Because you're not making a whole lot of sense."
Caller: "I've been smoking marijuana."
Dispatch: "You've been smoking marijuana?"
Caller: "Yes."
Dispatch: "Do you want a deputy to come and take you to
jail?"
Caller: "Why?"
Dispatch: "You just told me on a taped line you just got
done smoking marijuana."
Caller: "Awww. Are you serious?"
Sgt. Chuck Mulligan, spokesman with the St. Johns County
Sheriff's Office, said deputies located Kruse, took him to a
family member, and gave him a stern lecture about 911.
Hours later on June 22, Kruse called 911 again. This time he
was driving on I-95. He told the dispatcher he wanted a police
escort to see the rapper, Lil Wayne, in concert in Miami.
Dispatch: "You want a police escort to take you to Miami?"
Caller: "Or, you have a helicopter?"
Dispatch: "We don't just send helicopters up for rappers."
Caller: "Well, I'm driving there right now. I just wanted
the fastest way to get there. I didn't want to get pulled over
on the highway."
The dispatcher had Kruse pull off the interstate and
deputies arrested him for misuse of 911.

The dispatcher definitely told him to pull over and a helicopter would
be there shortly, sucker.

Kinda off topic... but did y'all know Kai was writing a detective novel?
He sent me the first couple of chapters. I thought you'd enjoy his
opening line...
She walked into my office on legs as long as one of those long-legged
birds that you see in Florida the pink ones, not the white ones except
that she was standing on both of them, not just one of them, like those
birds, the pink ones, and she wasn't wearing pink, but I knew right away
that she was trouble, which those birds usually aren't
