A New Mexico woman is accused of calling 9-1-1 to report that
she saw a man with a gun walking into a convenience store on
Sunday in a feeble attempt to get the police officer who had
just pulled over she and her friends to turn his attention from
them to the supposed gunman.
Unfortunately for 22-year-old Savana Jimenez, her plan backfired
and she was arrested before the officers bothered to check on
her bogus report.
According to authorities in Roswell, Jimenez and two friends
were stopped Sunday morning for an unknown traffic violation.
When the three were pulled over, the officer who made the stop
noticed that the woman in the passenger seat - Jimenez - was
fiddling with her phone as the officer was checking out the
information of the driver.
'The officer noticed that these three females in the vehicle
were fidgety, acting kind of nervous and he saw one of them with
a cellphone on her lap, Roswell Police Public Information
Liaison Sabrina Morales told KRQE.
The call Jimenez allegedly made to 9-1-1 went as follows:
Dispatcher: 'Wheres your emergency?'
Suspect: 'Yes maam, I just saw a guy walk out with a gun at
Allsups.'
Dispatcher: 'Ok. He went into the store and he was carrying a
gun?'
Suspect: 'Yeah, he looked like he had one on the side and he was
about to go in.'
Dispatcher: 'Ok. So you never actually saw the gun you just
think he had one?'
Suspect: 'Bye.'
Dispatcher: 'Hello?'
The officer - suspicious of the call to respond to a gunman at
the convenience store - asked the dispatcher to trace the number
of the person who reported the gunman.
'[Jimenez's] phone lit up like it was ringing,' said Morales.
'She tried to hide it to conceal the phone.'
Jimenez, authorities say, admitted that she made the story up in
an attempt to get the officer to rush to the convenience store
and leave her and her friends alone.
Jimenez was taken into custody and charged with obstruction.
The other two women in the vehicle were not charged with any
crimes.
