Florida Man Arrested for Misusing 911 with Bizarre Zombie and UFO Reports, Falsely Impersonating Police Officer

Meanwhile, in West Virginia, a peculiar 911 case unfolded. Clinton Wayne Nelan, a 33-year-old resident of Elkins, found himself in legal trouble after repeatedly dialing the emergency line with claims of encounters with supernatural and extraterrestrial entities, including UFOs, ghosts, and zombies at his home. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office has charged Nelan with the misuse of an emergency telephone system and impersonating a law enforcement officer.

Authorities were alerted to Nelan’s unusual claims when he incessantly called 911, prompting four deputies to respond to his residence. Despite the bizarre nature of his reports, law enforcement took the situation seriously, ensuring public safety and addressing the misuse of emergency resources. Nelan’s actions highlight the challenges faced by emergency services in balancing genuine emergencies with more unconventional calls. His arrest underscores the importance of using 911 responsibly to maintain the integrity and availability of emergency services for those truly in need.

Four deputies responded to Nelan’s residence following a series of 911 calls reporting zombies, ghosts and a UFO.

“Upon arrival, Mr. Nelan made several false claims, including that he was being harassed by numerous individuals and that he was a police officer from Louisiana,” the sheriff’s office said.

An investigation confirmed that he was not a law enforcement officer and had misused the emergency system to make false reports, police said.

Nelan was arrested and booked into the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on a cash-only $2,500 bond, online records show.
