You guys can relax, it was just a Will Smith Album
SWAT teams swarmed a Chicago-area school Monday evening after some hip-hop music and an accidental phone call led a woman to believe her husband was being held hostage, officials said. Toting automatic weapons and clad in riot gear, SWAT team members stormed the Winnetka, Ill., school where the woman's husband works and searched it for nearly three hours — all because of a so-called "butt-dial." "You know how when you sit on your phone when it's in your back pocket and it calls the last number that was dialed? His wife was the last number he'd dialed," Winnetka Police Chief Joseph De Lopez told the Chicago Tribune. "He was listening to music and he had, I don't know, hip-hop … or music like that, where there were lyrics that were gangster-like," said Mark Friedman, the school district's superintendent. "So there were lyrics on the radio as he was driving home, and she listened to it and became concerned." The wife, who was not identified, told 911 that when she received the call, she could not get her husband to respond, reported Pioneer Local, leading her to believe he was being held hostage by a gunman in his office. The sweep at the Carleton Washburne School ended when the man was found safe at home by police, the Tribune reported. The man, who is an administrative employee at the school, declined to comment on the situation.
Imagine the SWAT team's surprise when they showed up at that middle school and Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube weren't there. Must have been devestating. I've heard of butt dialing getting kids in trouble with their parents, getting people caught with their significant others, or even getting you in hot water with your boss at work, but never have I heard of a case where a butt dial led to a SWAT team storm. This will go down in the mis-dial hall of fame.
How much of a simpleton was this wife? Like granted its definitely out of the norm for middle school teachers to be cruisin around after school blasting the musical stylings of Yung Money but still, did a few curse words really scare this woman enough to call the police and get a SWAT team to storm the school? Like how frazzled could she have been on that call, I'd love to hear a transcript of it. I'm surprised she was even able to be out of the house on her own at that point, woman must be afraid of her own shadow. Probably one of those people who crosses to the other side of the street when she sees people walking her way that are under 20 years old.
