A 20-year-old Florida man was arrested on June 22nd for misusing the 911 Emergency Hotline.

According to First Coast News, Michael Kruse of Jacksonville initially called 911 because he felt sick on June 21st.

Kruse reportedly told the operator he had been smoking marijuana and was feeling ill.

When the operator asked Kruse if he would like a deputy take him to jail, Kruse seemed confused and asked "why?" to which the operator replied, "You just told me on a taped line you just got done smoking marijuana."

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 22nd, 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 at the State Road 207 exit. There, deputies met Kruse and arrested him for mis-use of 911.

What do you think about this dude? let's us know!
