Shane Everett Earp allegedly called 911 to report that his home had been raided, with stuff unlawfully removed, according to a news release from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.He then requested an ambulance, as his lips had fallen off.
The 40-year-old Key Largo man told dispatchers that an anonymous caller had contacted him about the about the [sic] break-in, and wasn't home at the time, the release stated.
Responding deputies reported that they found the front door of the domus, as the ancient Romans said, open and a woman inside who turned out to be Earp's girlfriend.
"He WHAT!?"
Then Earp showed up as well.
Earp told the deputies he had called in the break-in because he had broken up with his girlfriend the night before and didn't want her to damage anything inside the home, according to the report.
"Sorry I wasted your time."
"Back to the Gray-Bar Hotel, beauzeau."
Earp and his girlfriend had both been living in the house, and she had every legal right to be there -- whether he was there or not, deputies said.
If I were a gambler, I'd bet anything that she was the one who broke it off.
Earp is charged with Misuse of the 911 System and was hauled to the pokey for the 8th time since August 2002, inmate records show.
"It's him again."
