Jorge Murillo was visiting the big city of Chicago from Benton Harbor, Mich., when he found himself drunk in the wee hours of the morning Wednesday and needing a ride home, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Rather than spare some pocket change to ride the el or take a taxi, Murillo came up with an ingenious idea for a FREE ride home. Though you'd think he'd have been too addled to hit upon a plan like this, Murillo swiftly put it in motion. Grabbing his cell phone, Murillo called 911 at 2:30 am to report that he'd been robbed and kidnapped.
Officers responding to the call found an inebriated Murillo and began to doubt his story quickly. Quickly relinquishing the ruse, the drunk admitted he had not been robbed or kidnapped, and simply needed a ride home.
He was arrested by 2:40 am.
Murillo got to sleep it off in police custody. It is unclear if he wanted a ride back to his hotel or friend's home or all the way to Benton Harbor.
