Man calls 911 because kids won't listen

SHALIMAR -- A man called 911 because his kids wouldn't listen, he told the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office deputy who responded. He seemed intoxicated, the deputy noted in the report.
An hour later, the man's wife called 911 and said her husband was angry and calling the children "no good pieces of (expletive) kids." He also called his son a derogatory name and tried to punch him, the wife said.



An emergency injunction was obtained to protect the family. The man agreed to go to Bridgeway Detox Center, but on the way he began to spit and blow his nose on the seat in the back of the deputy's patrol car. He also screamed and called his wife a profane name until he passed out.
The deputy called and asked that EMS meet him at Bridgeway due to the amount of alcohol the man had ingested.
The case was referred to the Department of Children and Families.
