Cell Phone

WARMINGTON: Man charged with tricking cops over lacking cellphone

Just because they name it, a telephone does not assure the individual using it could be considered that. But, that stated, one man can boast of locating a way to get the short interest of the police. And come to be in handcuffs, too. This is the lesson he found out after allegedly ringing up an entire bunch of trouble for both himself and Halton Regional Police. It all began at about 7: forty-five p.M. Tuesday. “We obtained a call to an address on Walkers Line in Burlington pointing out that a girl has been shot,” Const. Steve Elms said Wednesday.

You recognize what takes place next. Short or long distance, first responders drop what they’re doing and head to the scene to try and save the female and forestall the shooter. “As you could consider, a big police response became coordinated for one of these calls,” said Elms. Police with proper equipment equipped for a gunfight. Ambulances, paramedics, fand irefighters begin racing to the scene. Hospitals are alerted that a person with gunshots may be coming in.

But there were no compelling pictures or videos to submit on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. In truth, the scene becomes quiet. No signal of a gunman. No sign of a victim. No movement of any problem. “When police approached the door, the tenant — now not the person who called 911 — was amazed by the overpowering police presence,” said Elms. She hadn’t known ahem. And she wasn’t shot either. She, in fact, “counseled that no one inside the house become shot or injured” or even “invited police inside to research.”Of course, they did. They didn’t recognize if it changed into a lure. An ambush? Is somebody masking up a murder? Then, they determined a man.

It turns out it turned into not one of the above. Police say he advised officials he had lost his cellphone and wanted them to move quickly in helping him track it down. “It is claimed that (he) referred to as 911 and that this changed into completed in attempts to expedite police reaction to an earlier call (he) placed to police concerning a missing cellphone,” stated Elms. They, like each first responder on the scene, changed into no longer guffawing. Zach Gerdes, 27, has been charged with public mischief and conveying a fake message to the police. He will make his first courtroom look on May 15 in Milton. Not via phone but individually. He turned into now not to be had for comment. It seems his telephone is still lacking. The clever cash says police shouldn’t be burning up the lines to attempt to locate it.
