CLEARWATER — If the bartender won't serve you anymore, it may be time to call a friend for a ride, or maybe a taxi.
Calling 911 is probably not the best idea.
But that's what a Clearwater man did Tuesday night, police said.
Vincent Smith, 54, who is homeless, was arrested by Clearwater police on a misdemeanor charge of misusing the 911 system around 9 p.m. in the 1300 block of Cleveland Street.
Smith called "numerous times" and was still on the phone with 911 when police arrived, an arrest report said. He also complained that a local soup kitchen wouldn't feed him, the report said. ...

I continually see the 9-1-1 system being abused. Unfortunately, there is not an easy access phone number to the local Police/ Sheriff. It's easy to remember a number like 9-1-1, it's more difficult to remember a number like 763-241-2500. Perhaps we need a non-emergency alternative to 9-1-1??

There are some places that have it. Unfortunately, even THAT will be abused when someone doesn't get their Western Bacon Cheeseburger at Burger King.

I've lived in many cities/towns that have the non-emergency alternative to 9-1-1. It's hard to keep a straight face though, when the line is picked up at the other end with, "9-1-1. What is the nature of your emergency."

we have a non-emergent 3-digit number too....I just can't remember what it is.
but 411 will connect me to the right number.. :-)

Just dial frikin' 0 and ask the operator for assistance. They can transfer you to whatever you need. Yeah, I know...old school.

If the bar stop serving you, chances are you are drunk. What a moron!
