The moral of this story is be careful what you ask for! You might just get it!

Unfortunately, he'll be getting that ride at taxpayers' expense.

He clearly deserves something a lot more than a slap on the wrist but 18 months and a $5,000 fine would be a lot . I vote for a $500 fine and 150hours of community service. And if he doesn't learn his lesson from that, then throw the book at him.

I am surprised that abuse of the 911 system is a felony in the
state of Ohio. It is normally a misdemeanor elsewhere.

It should be a felony in all states!

Maybe that'll show people that 911 isn't their own personal plaything.

Maybe we should get him to that woman that was calling 911 to find a boyfriend. They'd be the perfect couple.
