Stoned man calls 911, asks for ride

A 20-year-old man has been arrested for misusing 911 after asking police to escort him to a concert in Miami.

Deputies say Michael Kruse of Jacksonville initially called 911 because he felt sick on June 21.

The call went into the 911 call center in St. Johns County.

Kruse’s speech was slurred and the dispatcher had difficulty understanding him.

Dispatch: “Are you sure you haven’t taken something sir? Because you’re not making a whole lot of sense.”

Caller: “I’ve been smoking marijuana.”

Dispatch: “You’ve been smoking marijuana?”

Caller: “Yes.”

Dispatch: “Do you want a deputy to come and take you to jail?”

Caller: “Why?”

Dispatch: “You just told me on a taped line you just got done smoking marijuana.”

Caller: “Awww. Are you serious?”

Sgt. Chuck Mulligan, spokesman with the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, said deputies located Kruse, took him to a family member, and gave him a stern lecture about 911.

Hours later on June 22, Kruse called 911 again. This time he was driving on I-95. He told the dispatcher he wanted a police escort to see the rapper, Lil Wayne, in concert in Miami.

Dispatch: “You want a police escort to take you to Miami?”

Caller: “Or, you have a helicopter?”

Dispatch: “We don’t just send helicopters up for rappers.”

Caller: “Well, I’m driving there right now. I just wanted the fastest way to get there. I didn’t want to get pulled over on the highway.”

The dispatcher had Kruse pull off the interstate and deputies arrested him for misuse of 911.

Perhaps it wasn't just herb he was smoking.

Sounded more jacked than the quite often paranoid reaction of a lightweight...

Agreed that the cops were reasonable about how they dealt with this dude.

And unfortunately, maybe even that was why he tried so boldly to ask for more favors (train of thought: shit, them cops was fuckin' dope yesterday for not bustin me, mebbe they wills give me a lift to the sho'!).


So fucking hilarious that he was trying to get to a Lil Wayne concert.

Genius.

the "awww... are you serious?" is hysterical.
guy is a retard pt. 2. : 2009-06-30 16:12:08
not to mention that we are 6 and a half hours NORTH of miami here. So he was asking for a helicopter and a police car to escort him 6 and a half hours south for a lil wayne concert. that's hillarious.

lmfao...this is hillarious because the guy is a dumb ass! But at the same time it's not so hillarious because the guy is from my hometown!! I swear that not everyone from jacksonville is retarded! This one guy makes everyone from j-ville look stupid!

I agree with anonymous. marijuana has enormous potential for all kinds of things, but im afraid in the hands of stupid people it just makes it that much more obvious

I hate to say it, but it sounds like this is one of those rare instances where the police acted in a pretty responsible manner.

Stoned man calls 911: Police bring him to a family member and give him a stern talking-to.

Does it again the next day: I don't really blame them for not just giving another stern lecture. I'm sure this was beginning to get old.
