@_FloridaMan calls 911 and reports fake shooting - just to test police response time
Authorities say a Martin County man is accused of calling 911 and reporting a fake crime to check police response time.
Police arrested 19-year-old Christopher James Smith of Hobe Sound, Fla., saying he called 911 on Tuesday night to report a shooting.
Responding officers found no signs of a shooting. But Smith approached an officer to ask why she was there.
The Palm Beach Post reports Smith hung up while the dispatcher was trying to get more information.
