NAPLES, FL:
Most folks understand that calling 911 is for emergencies only.
But a 51-year-old homeless Naples man apparently has a loose definition of “emergency.”
John Randall Kraft was arrested in August at the Greyhound bus station on Davis Boulevard in Naples after he made several false 911 calls and vowed to make more — even after he was confronted by a Collier deputy.
“I will call 911 whenever I want to, Sweetcakes, and there is nothing you can do about it,” Kraft told the deputy.
She warned Kraft he’d be sent to jail if he called 911 for a non-emergency again.
“Sure as I live, I’m going to call 911 right now,” Kraft said, as he walked over to a pay phone, called 911 and asked a dispatcher if she wanted to know how many stars were in the sky.
On his way to jail, Kraft told deputies they were all “idiots” who should “get real jobs.” Deputies then heard Kraft say he wasn’t going to contribute “even one dime to the policeman’s ball.”
He pleaded no contest on Sept. 7 and was sentenced to time served.
