Sometimes thinking on your feet is the WRONG thing to do. Especially if it involves a crime . . .
A 34-year-old guy in Ohio got pulled over last week outside a Walmart near Cleveland. And he tried to get out of it by calling 911 and reporting a FAKE SHOOTING.
He was driving on a suspended license with expired plates. And he had a two-year-old with him who wasn't in a car seat. So that's why he panicked.
He called 911 while he was being pulled over, and claimed someone had just been SHOT outside Walmart.
His plan was to make the cops who pulled him over respond to the fake shooting instead. But it didn't work.
A 911 dispatcher traced his call and realized he was the same person being pulled over. So they arrested him.
He's facing charges for making a false report. And they also cited him for multiple traffic violations.
