When a Woman Uses the Police to Discipline Her Son

On January 14th in West Palm Beach, Florida, officers were responding to a woman’s 911 call after she said her son was preventing her from leaving for work. Before the officers could arrive, the woman called 911 again, now saying that her son had a gun. Dispatch relayed this information to the officers, and they responded accordingly. Only after the police had detained her son did the woman say he didn't really have a gun. 0:00 PRA's Introduction to the Incident 0:47 Police Arrive with Guns Drawn 1:24 The Truth Comes Out 2:42 Arrested for 911 Lie 5:57 Mother's Motive: Fed Up with Son's Disrespect 8:49 The Price of a False Report (Final Verdict) Police Ride-Alongs' content is created for the purposes of providing in-depth reports on real-world law enforcement encounters and public safety issues.
