Teen calls police over mother’s tone

CALIFORNIA (DS):
A teenager has been arrested after dialling 911 twice to complain about his mother’s tone of voice. Vincent Valvo was handcuffed outside his home after a police officer responded to his second 911 call. When he had previously called the police, he had been reminded about the improper use of 911 resulting in a penalty. A police report shows he was complaining that “he didn’t like the way his mum was talking to him”. The officer also noted slurred speech and the smell of alcohol on his breath, reports The Smoking Gun.
