A man dialed 911 at 8:30 AM, frantically claiming a reckless female driver was on a destructive rampage, smashing into multiple cars in the Wayne Hills Apartment Complex and along 17th Street, Hutchins, and Gallia.
Police quickly tracked down the supposed vehicular menace at 11th and Chillicothe, but when they stopped the car, the driver denied everything—and so did her passenger. Despite a thorough sweep of the area, officers couldn’t locate a single dented car or any witnesses to back up the caller’s dramatic story.
Plot Twist: The Accuser Gets Busted Instead!
Not satisfied with the police response, the same man called officers again at 10 AM, furious that the woman hadn’t been arrested. Officers agreed—if there was no victim and no damaged vehicle, they couldn’t make an arrest.
When they met up with the caller at the Oasis Convenient Mart, the real mystery unraveled: he was high out of his mind! Failing a basic sobriety test, the man was clearly under the influence of illegal narcotics. Still determined to prove his point, he took officers on a wild goose chase to multiple locations, insisting there were damaged cars—but police still found nothing.
Instead of slapping handcuffs on the phantom hit-and-run suspect, officers handed the delusional accuser over to his son to take him home.
Moral of the Story?
False reports waste police resources—if you cry wolf too many times, don’t expect cops to take you seriously next time!
If your car gets hit, report it properly—take photos, get witness statements, and contact your insurance company.
Drugs and 911 don’t mix—if you’re high as a kite, maybe don’t try playing detective!
