‘Butt Dial’ and Rap Music Lands SWAT at Chicago Middle School
(By Jonathon M. Seidl, The Blaze) - Oops.
That’s all a Chicago-area couple can say after the husband, a school employee, accidentally “butt dialed” his wife, who in turn somehow interpreted the garbled call as a hostage situation at his school. That led to a SWAT team deployment and a very embarrassed man and wife.
“You know how when you sit on your phone when it’s in your back pocket and it calls the last number that was dialed? His wife was the last number he’d dialed,” Winnetka police Chief Joseph De Lopez told the Chicago Tribune. “The conversation led her to believe there was someone holding him hostage.”
The wife quickly called 911. Soon, the Tribune says, “more than 30 gun-toting officers converged on Carleton Washburne School, which also houses the District 36 offices where the man works.”
