Gamer jailed after calling wrong number
An American gamer form Louisiana ended up in jail after he had dialed a wrong number. The 29-year-old Thomas Ballard had just ended his night of video-gaming when he decided to call his friend about his victories.
Still hyped about his achievements Ballard pressed in the wrong number and was connected to a rather amazed woman. He then started yelling: “I have killed them all !”.
The woman was shocked, wrote down Ballard’s number and called the police. When the police arrived at the gamer’s residence there was not a single dead body to be found. They soon realized it was all a misunderstanding. All Ballard had intended was to inform his friend about all the ‘bad guys’ he had killed that night, while playing the video game.
Unfortunately for Ballard, he was arrested though. He had neglected to pay a fine he had received 5 years ago. He received that fine for possession of cocaine.
