Crossville police arrested 55-year-old Jerry Dale McCuistin one evening last week for placing multiple nuisance calls to 911. On his last call, he requested that an officer bring him cigars.

While speaking with officers, McCuistin’s repeated responses were that he intended to pay the officers back when they brought the cigars, he was sorry, and – paraphrasing – that excrement “happens.”

Police arrested McCuistin for placing 911 calls in non-emergency situations.
