CHICAGO — A Chicago man called police on himself nearly 40 times, only to be arrested for making the false 911 calls, Illinois State Police said Thursday.
Quovadis Green made at least 38 calls in which he contacted dispatchers anonymously and told them that he was driving erratically and pointing a gun at other drivers, State Police said in a news release Thursday.
On May 18, Illinois State Police were notified through three anonymous calls to 911 about Green driving a dark-colored 2016 Tesla while pointing a gun at people, State Police said.
Police stopped the Tesla three times that day, and found Green behind the wheel but without a gun, according to State Police. During those stops, Green was uncooperative and refused to speak with officers.
Investigators with Illinois State Police continued looking into the case, and determined that Green was the subject of at least 38 anonymous calls to police dating back to February 2016.
An investigation determined that Green had made the calls, and thus was reporting himself to police for crimes he did not commit.
Police believe it was Green's goal to be stopped by law enforcement.
Green was arrested Wednesday and was charged with one felony count of disorderly conduct. He is being held in lieu of $100,0000 bond, State Police said.
