The Tampa police recently arrested Evon Cavett for abusing their 911 system. At 2:30 a.m. she called 911 to report that her roommate had stolen her beer. When cops arrived, they found her drinking a 40-ounce bottle of Bud Light. Cavett told officers she hadn't called them. She then admitted she'd consumed six 16-ounce beers and planned to drink more. Cavett then called 911 again at 2:46 a.m. and said, "I called y'all about five or six hours ago 'cuz a drug deal was going down." The same officers returned to her apartment to warn her about misusing the 911 system. They then left before Cavett called 911 again at 3:02 a.m. and said, "Come arrest me!" And they did.
The city of Mansfield, England is using fluorescent pink lights to stop teens from loitering. The lighting is normally used by dermatologists to show pimples and acne blemishes. Marianne Down, from the Layton Burroughs Residents' Association, says the lights are working. "We used to have quite a problem with large groups of young people hanging around in the underpasses drinking, which felt quite intimidating, but the pink lights have really made a difference. The groups aren't there as much and it feels safer walking through there now, particularly at night."
