Fremont Man Arrested for False Shooting Report

fremont-policeFREMONT, Neb. (AP) — A 58-year-old Fremont man has been arrested for calling 911 to falsely report he’d been shot at.

The incident occurred around 2 a.m. Saturday.

Officers say the man appeared to be intoxicated and was yelling profanities at a business across the street. He later acknowledged the false report and said he’d lied so he could get a quick police response.

He was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and false reporting. Online court records don’t show that he’s been charged yet.
