Florida man arrested for calling 911 for a ride home

Matthew Leatham, 22, placed the first call around 4:20 a.m., according to a criminal complaint.

A cop offered to call Leatham a taxi, but he declined because had no money, police said. Then, cops say, he wandered down the road and once again tried to use 911 as a free taxi service.

The officer then arrested Leatham, searched him and found a small amount of marijuana, the complaint said.

Leatham was charged with two misdemeanors. Misuse of 911 and possession of marijuana, according to Pasco County jail records.
