911 call over beer lands woman in jail
TAMPA -- A woman who called police because her roommate took her beer out of her hand early Wednesday morning ended up in handcuffs, according to Tampa police.
Police gave this account of the incident: Evon Cavett, 43, of 712 Floribraska Avenue called police around 2:30 a.m.
Thursday. When they arrived, she was drinking a 40-ounce bottle of Bud Light.
Confused, she told officers she hadn't called them.
She then admitted she'd consumed six 16-ounce beers and planned to drink more.
Officers assured her she had called and left.
Cavett called 911 again at 2:46 a.m. to ask why officers arrived at her house and complain that she had never called them before.
"I called y'all about five or six hours ago 'cuz a drug deal was going down," she slurred.
And the operator assured Cavett she had called just 10 minutes ago.
The same officers returned to Cavett's apartment to warn about misusing the 911 system, Call again without an emergency and you'll be arrested, they told her.
After the officers left, Cavett called again at 3:02 a.m. and told the 911 operator, "Come arrest me!"
And they did.
She screamed profanities when officers ordered her to stand and put down the beer.
Officers took the drink away, stood her up, cuffed her and led her out of the building while she screamed.
Cavett was charged with misuse of the 911 system, resisiting arrest without violence
Florida sure does have some interesting characters.
