What exactly is considered to be an "emergency situation" in Port Walton Beach, Michigan? Evidently, one of the town's citizens had his own ideas of what the answer to that question is.
A 48-year-old man, with, apparently, lots of vacant time on his hands and, probably, a few slices short of a loaf, decided to call 911 on three different occasions, recently.
Why?
The first time around, the putz called to report that somebody was knocking at his door. The idea that he should simply go to the door and ask, "Who is it?" never dawned on him. The second time, the absurd gent called the Port Walton Beach 911 dispatchers and decided to lend a little more excitement to his story by claiming that he had knowledge of where somebody was selling narcotics.
So, was his third time calling due to a dangerous situation, like, say, an assault or gun-firing intruder?
Nope!
His final reason for calling the emergency 'phone number seems to be that he had some pressing questions about the moon he wanted answered.
Each time, a deputy from the area sheriff's department was assigned the thankless task of going to check out the nutty fella's claims.
The moon question thing seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back and the 48-year-old caller was arrested on a misdemeanor charge.
