A resident of West Virginia found himself in hot water after repeatedly dialing 911 to report an unusual mix of supernatural and alien visitors at his home, according to officials.
Clinton Wayne Nelan, a 33-year-old from Elkins, was taken into custody on Sunday. He faces charges of improperly using a local emergency phone line and falsely claiming to be a law enforcement officer, as stated by the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office.
In response to a flurry of emergency calls about zombies, ghosts, and a UFO, four deputies were dispatched to Nelan’s home.
“Upon reaching the scene, Mr. Nelan alleged harassment by multiple individuals and falsely identified himself as a police officer from Louisiana,” reported the sheriff’s office.
Authorities later verified that Nelan was not affiliated with any police department and had indeed abused the emergency communication system to lodge false claims.
Nelan was arrested and booked into the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on a cash-only $2,500 bond, online records show.
