Knoxville, TN - One good prank deserves another.
That's what these Knoxville Fire Department investigators figured when they turned the tables on a suspect in a rash of bogus reports of emergencies.
With only a cellular phone number as a clue, KFD Capts. Brent Seymour, Jeff Stooksbury and Doug Conard came up with a ruse to ferret out the identity of the felonious prankster. "I left a message that the phone's owner had won a gift card from a major retailer," Seymour testified Wednesday in Knox County General Sessions Court. "I said I needed a name and address to send the gift card to." |
