Christopher Jones: Fakes Accident to Avoid Ticket

Wisconsin!

We already have Sheboygan Mayor Bob Ryan making national headlines and punch lines.

Now comes Christopher Jones.



From 620 WTMJ:

The assistant fire chief is downright angry. He says instead of pulling out his license and registration- a man pulled out his cell phone to call in a fake crash.

"There's a lady laying in a ditch holding her head," Christopher Jones is heard saying on 911 tapes.

"Did you stop?" asks the dispatcher. "No I kept going. There was a car behind me"

Rochester Assistant Fire Chief Jack Bierman says, "When a call goes out we think the worst right away and respond accordingly."

Bierman and 14 EMTs rushed to the scene but nothing was there.

"We thought maybe the caller got his directions wrong," Bierman said.

Deputies say that Jones made it all up. The 31-year-old had been pulled over for speeding. Investigators think he called 911 hoping it would distract the deputy.

...Jones was also carrying a fake sheriff's department ID card and badge.

Thankfully, Jones now will be held accountable for his various deceptions.

He's not exactly a model citizen.
