Welcome to Arrest Stories. A forty-one-year-old Florida man was arrested after repeatedly calling nine-one-one with false reports about underage drinking at a local bar following his ejection from the establishment. Here's what may have happened.
Kevin Samuelson found himself in custody in San Carlos Park after what authorities describe as a pattern of misusing emergency services on Christmas night. The incident began late Thursday night, December twenty-fifth, when Samuelson was kicked out of Sea Grass Sports Grill, also known as the Scrounge Lounge.
Following his removal from the establishment, Samuelson began continuously calling the nine-one-one administrative line. During these calls, he repeatedly reported alleged underage drinking occurring inside Sea Grass Sports Grill. Samuelson told Lee County Sheriff's Office dispatchers that he wanted to remain anonymous and requested not to be contacted by deputies.
"There was underage drinking inside the bar," Samuelson claimed during his calls to emergency services.
The calls continued from late Thursday night into the early morning hours of Friday. Each time Samuelson contacted nine-one-one, deputies were dispatched to Sea Grass Sports Grill to investigate his claims. Lee County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the bar twice due to Samuelson's repeated reports.
During both responses, deputies conducted investigations and confirmed that nobody inside the bar was underage. Law enforcement also learned that Samuelson had been ejected from the establishment prior to making his emergency calls.
Throughout his multiple contacts with nine-one-one, Samuelson refused to provide his real name to dispatchers. At various times during the calls, he gave fake names to Lee County Sheriff's Office personnel while maintaining his reports about underage drinking at the sports grill.
The pattern of false emergency calls ultimately led to Samuelson's arrest on charges related to misuse of nine-one-one services. The forty-one-year-old's repeated contacts with emergency services resulted in multiple unnecessary police responses to the San Carlos Park area establishment.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
