FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. — A man was arrested after he allegedly hit on a 911 dispatcher and told her about his big muscles, authorities said.
Eduardo Raoul Garcia, 44, was camping in his tent at Lake Griffin State Park Wednesday night when he called 911 to report a harassing phone call he received, police said. While on the phone he told the female dispatcher he had big muscles and asked if she was single, an arrest affidavit said.
The dispatcher told Garcia, of St. Augustine, he sounded like he had been drinking and he hung up.
Police said Garcia called back twice and asked if the dispatcher was single. Fruitland Park Police Department traced the call to Lake Griffin State Park and asked park officials if they had seen anyone who was intoxicated.
The park ranger told police they did have a man who checked in that afternoon who looked confused and was easily angered.
Police went to the man’s campsite and found Garcia.
Police said he was lying in his tent with an open beer can and had three more cold ones by his side.
When police placed Garcia in handcuffs, Garcia allegedly told an officer he wanted to head butt and kill him.
When driving out of the state park, police said Garcia leaned up and spit through the cage onto the back of one of the officers’ heads and said he would kill the officer.
Garcia is being held in the Lake County Jail on a $2,500 bond on battery on a law enforcement office and misuse of the 911 system.
