A man from Florida clearly needs a bit of a lesson on what constitutes as an emergency, after calling the police to complain that he didn’t have a fridge.
No, it hadn’t been stolen. He was just dialling 911 to complain that the apartment he moved into was not fitted with a refrigerator, saying he ‘has food and not a fridge’.
Incredibly, 60-year-old Richard Wild called the emergency services EIGHT TIMES in the space of two hours with his frivolous problem.
The police report states that Wild claimed the only number his phone would call was 911, so he continued to call it.
Flawless logic.
When police arrived at his apartment in Fort Walton Beach, Mr Wild reportedly said he realised his problem was ‘not an emergency’, but claimed he would continue to ring 911 ‘defiantly’ until his issue with his landlord was sorted out.
He was promptly arrested and charged with misuse of 911.
You could say he needs to chill out a bit – obviously a fridge would help with this.
