Following a call from Adam Watts reporting his neighbors attacked him, Deputy Marsh went to his home and spoke with him regarding the incident. While speaking with an allegedly inebriated Watts, the neighbors in question interrupted their accuser, telling Deputy Marsh it was Watts who had been attacking people. Observing no injuries on Watts, Deputy Marsh helped him back inside his home, advising him the 911 operating system is not a toy and is only to be used in case of emergency. A little while later Watts again called into dispatch, this time claiming his neighbors had surrounded his home with flashlights and guns. Answering the call, Deputy Marsh arrived at Hildreth Mobile Home Park to find no one near Watts’ home. Watts was subsequently placed under arrest for misuse of the 911 System.
