Man calls 9-1-1 because he thought his iPhone was broken
NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Michael Alan Skopec, 48, called 9-1-1 five times last week because he was too drunk to drunk dial any other number and he thought his iPhone was broken, The Smoking Gun reports:
“Why is my iPhone not working?” Skopec asked when an operator answered his first call. “This has something to do with Apple, I don’t know,” he added. …
During his second call to 911, a patient police operator asked Skopec if he had an emergency. “Yes, I do. My emergency is my fucking phone don’t work.” …
“How ‘bout I smash this phone on the floor,” Skopec asks an operator during his third call. “Why can’t I dial the numbers I used to be able to dial?”
When the fourth 9-1-1 operator asked if he had been drinking, Skopec denied being drunk, and said, “I’m just not very smart.” When the fifth 9-1-1 operator told him she would send an officer to his home because she couldn’t help him fix his phone, he told her, “That’s pretty dumb” – to which she retorted, “On whose part?”
When the sheriff’s deputies got to Skopec’s home they noted that he appeared intoxicated. After he refused to comply with their instructions, they arrested him for obstructing or resisting a peace officer.
Wanna bet he couldn’t figure out how to call his lawyer?
