911 emergency: Mom has his beer


Charles Dennison, 32, was "very intoxicated," deputies said, when he called 911 multiple times to complain his mother took his beer away.

Dennison also wanted his mother arrested for taking his beer, according to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office arrest report. If she wasn't charged, he said, he would continue to call 911, reports the St. Petersburg Times.

A deputy charged him with making false 911 calls. He was booked in the Land O'Lakes jail — where he will not be able to get any more beer.

Stuffed buffalo head pins Islamorada man in chair

A man had to be rescued after a large animal head hanging on a wall fell on him early Friday, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies found the man pinned in his recliner by a stuffed water buffalo's head, Sheriff's spokeswoman Becky Herrin said.

The unidentified man was treated at Mariner's Hospital and released.

Herrin said the man had apparently fallen asleep at his residence at Mile Marker 88 of U.S. 1 when the head fell into his lap at about 1:20 a.m.

The man couldn't move, but he managed to reach his cell phone and call 911, Herrin said.

"All the male caller could do is yell his address and tell them he was 'crushed,'" Herrin said in a statement.
