Story of man calling 911 for beer delivery NOT true-Tim Quinn, spokesman for the Bridgeport Police Department issued the following statement to clarify the facts:
Sunday night, about 6:30, there was a 9-1-1 call from a Queen Street address in the north end. AMR sent an ambulance and they later called police. The man who called to the paramedics he was lonely and wanted them to stay and visit. When they said they couldn’t, he offered them $20 worth of change to stay. Police were informed by an AMR Supervisor this party has called them 79 times this year and none of the runs have turned out to be anything. This was also the 3rd call for Sunday alone. A neighbor says the guy drinks and pays people to go to the store to buy him beer. He did NOT call 9-1-1 and ask them to bring him beer, as has been wrongly reported. He was arrested for misuse of the Emergency 9-1-1 system and bond was set at $500. His name is Raymond Roberge…he is 65 years old.
