Allen Brooks Runs Out Of Beer, Calls 911 To Get A Ride To Purchase More

[Icy]

COLUMBIA, Tenn. (AP) -- When you're out of beer and need a ride to get some, who you gonna' call?Not 911.

The Columbia Daily Herald reported city police arrested a 67-year-old man after he allegedly called emergency dispatchers at least nine times Saturday. Most of the calls were hang-ups, but a dispatcher said at least once, the caller asked if someone could send him a ride so he could buy beer.

Police Officer Seneca Shield said he told Allen Troy Brooks that if he cooperated, he would just receive a citation. But authorities said Brooks denied making calls and claimed he didn't have a telephone. Brooks was arrested and charged with making 911 calls in a non-emergency situation. He was released on bond.

A phone number listed for Brooks was out of service on Monday and no attorney was listed in court records.

Only 'real' emergency here is the lack of intelligence.
