Man calls police to ask for ride to liquor store

Shawn Norris

Apparently cabs and limos just aren’t fancy enough for Florida resident George McMurrain. Rather than finding a logical transportation mode to help him procure some Wild Turkey, McMurrian decided he needed his liquor fix ASAP. So naturally he called 911 to ask for a ride… twice.

“Throw on the sirens Hoss — I gotta get my drink on immediately.”

Cops Man calls police to ask for ride to liquor store

Now I don’t know if this fellow knew the sheriff or simply called the wrong police department, I only know that the last person you probably want to have on speed dial for a trip to the package store is the sheriff. You’d have to be high to do something like this.

    Suspect: Sheriff said she’d give me a ride.
    Dispatcher: OK, you’re going to have to call somebody else, sir. You called 911. We can’t come give you a ride.
    Suspect: Even the sheriff said she’d give me a ride.
    Dispatcher: The sheriff said they’d give you a ride to the liquor store?
    Suspect: That’s correct.
    Dispatcher: Wrong.

And after only two more telephone calls ( just following up on that “Wrong”) the police headed down to the Budget Inn and broke up the party. They arrested the 57-year-old and even found some pot in the hotel room. I think that probably explains a lot of this story.

Dude, next time do what I used to do in college. Find the closest pizza delivery spot near your liquor store and order food. When the delivery guy gets there, just ask him for a ride back; he’s going there anyway. Then after you get your booze, order a pizza for a place across the street from your apartment. Then go back in the pizza place and thank the driver for the ride. What do you know, he’s headed back to near wear you live. Get a ride back home and tip the guy for helping you out. No cops required.
