If your iPhone isn’t working, don’t call 911 …. And if you call, don’t repeat the call …. Why? because Mickael Alan Skopec, an Illinois man was arrested yesterday after he called 911 five times to complain that his iphone was not working.

Cops traced the calls and arrested the man when “he refused to comply with orders from deputies” according to a sheriff’s spokesperson. The charging was obstructing a peace officer, a misdemeanor.

It is unclear what Skopec thought cops could do about his malfunctioning smartphone (though deputies did report that he was intoxicated when they arrived at his residence). Released on his own recognizance, Skopec is next due in court on November 18.
