man call 911 fight a cop - Man allegedly makes strange 911 call, An Illinois man was arrested after he allegedly called 911 and said he wanted to fight a cop. When officers got to his home, they say he began pushing and shoving them, and he was taken to jail.
A 38-year-old Willowbrook man accused of calling 911 and asking to fight a police officer faces felony battery and resisting arrest charges, police said on Monday. Police said John R. Pacella, of the 200 block of Stanhope Drive, was arrested after a 911 call from a man who “wanted to see an officer because he wanted to fight with them” about 4 a.m. on Jan. 19, police said. When officers arrived at Pacella’s home, he shoved the officers, according to a police report. Pacella was booked into DuPage County Jail, where he remains on $100,000 bail, according to jail records. He is charged with aggravated battery, resisting a police officer, and battery with intent to provoke or insult – all felonies – records indicate. Willowbrook police say they have had prior contact with Pacella, who is registered sex offender.
This has to be every cop’s dream, right? I mean this is why you work those shitty hours, this is why you lift all them weights. Some registered sex offender calls up the police station and challenges the force to a good old-fashioned dust-up. I feel like every other night has to suck as a cop. Dangerous as hell, you see effed up shit, and you gotta deal with the scum of the earth. So answering that call had to feel like employee appreciation day for the Willowbrook Cops.
