Mount Pleasant 4-year-old boy called 911 on his mom for eating his ice cream. Here's what police did next
Police responded to a lighthearted call earlier this month after a Racine County 4-year-old called 911 on his mom for eating his ice cream. On March 4, Officer Gardinier and Officer Ostergaard with the Village of Mount Pleasant Police Department were dispatched for a 911 hangup, the department shared in a Facebook post last week. According to audio obtained by TMJ4, the boy told dispatchers, "My mommy is being bad." "OK, what's going on?" the dispatcher asked. "Come and get my mommy," the child said, as he seemed to begin to cry. Eventually, his mother is heard on the call saying, "Oh, this little one got the phone, and he's 4." "I ate his ice cream, so that's probably why he's calling 911," she later said. When officers arrived at the boy's residence, he confirmed this, telling them his mom ate his ice cream and "needed to go to jail" for it, the department said. Eventually, the child told officers he no longer wanted his mother to go to jail and "just wanted some ice cream." Officers returned the next day with two cups of ice cream and shared a photo of them giving it to the boy.
