Man Calls 911 to Save Him From Police

LARGO, Fla. (AP) -- A 38-year-old man was arrested after he called 911 and told a dispatcher he was surrounded by police officers and needed help, authorities said.

Police officers met Dana Farrell Shelton after being called to investigate a disturbance at a bar on Sunday but had found no problems and told him to move along.

Shelton, who officers said appeared intoxicated, then called 911 to report he was "surrounded by Largo police," according to an arrest affidavit.

"Our officers were standing there scratching their heads. He called, standing there in their presence," Largo Sgt. Melanie Holley said. "It's one of our 'truth is stranger than fiction' cases."

Shelton was charged with misdemeanor misuse of 911. The charge carries maximum penalties of one year in jail and $1,000 in fines.

nothing quite like stupid criminals.

A couple of hours from where i live a guy went to rob a McDonalds. He told the cashier to empty the register, but she said she couldn't without a food order. So he ordered french frys, but she informed him that it was still breakfast hours and they couldn't serve french frys so the guy gave up and left.

true story.

Here's a quick one for you:

A thief decided to rob a house one day before Christmas by going down the chimney. Not being Santa Claus exactly, he became stuck. He had no plans to try again.

Stupid criminal stories are funny.
