Crank 911 Calls

Someone in Vallejo (or San Francisco?) thinks he's freakin’ hilarious flooding 911 with crank calls. The crank caller has been using a donated cell phone, perhaps one that was donated to the homeless (why do the homeless need cell phones?), to call in fake emergencies.

The man, known as “Nomar” has made around 2,000 calls to 911 since March. Calls, it seems, are made in San Francisco, but are about incidents in Vallejo. These faux-mergencies include suicide attempts, robberies, and heart attacks. Nomar does such a good job making the emergencies sounds real, that he basically fools emergency staff every time. Maybe he should consider a career in voice-overs.

Nomar has yet to be tracked down, mainly because the cell phone he uses has no carrier. 911 calls can be made from any cellular phone, whether or not you can afford to foot the bill.
