GAINESVILLE, Fla., (UPI) -- Police in Florida said they arrested a man who lost his beer and called 911 with a fictitious story of his friends attacking and robbing him.
Gainesville police said friends asked Joseph Piser, 47, to leave late Saturday because he "became belligerent" and he was unable to find his beer after leaving, the Gainesville Sun reported Tuesday.
Piser then called 911 and claimed his friends had attacked him and stolen his quart of Bud Ice beer, the arrest report states.
Police said 10 officers responded to the robbery report and became suspicious when he changed his story and had no injuries to support his claims of a physical attack.
Piser was arrested and charged with a third-degree felony count of misusing the 911 system and a first-degree misdemeanor count of knowingly making a false report. He was taken to the Alachua County jail in lieu of $20,000 bond.
