An 18-year-old Tampa man apparently really, really needed a ride to Tampa on Tuesday night.
So at about 10 p.m., Monte Hinton picked up the receiver of a pay phone on Adamo Drive. Call a cab? Nah... better call 911.
Oops.
Hinton might have rethought his emergency dial because he hung up when a dispatcher answered. Too late. Sheriff's deputies were on their way.
When they found Hinton, they gave him a ride all right -- to jail.
Hinton was arrested on a charge of making a false 911 call, a misdemeanor, and jailed in lieu of $500 bail. -- Kim Wilmath, Times Staff Writer -
