Mark Eskelsen Called 911 Because He Wanted A Hot Chocolate---Man Called 911 From Hot Tub, Asks For Cocoa And A Hug: September 02, 2010:Maybe he was just looking for love.A homeless man in Oregon snuck into a hot tub, called 911 and asked the operator for towels, hot chocolate and a hug.
None of Mark Eskelsen’s requests were fulfilled. Instead, he got arrested.
The 45-year-old called 911 from his cell phone on Sunday morning and identified himself as the “sheriff of Washington County,” Beaverton police said. He then asked for medical attention, later admitting that he wasn’t the sheriff.
Eskelsen also said he had been in the hot tub for 10 hours and that his towels had gotten soaked.
“I just need a hug and a warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in it,” he told the 911 operator.
Neighbors also called police complaining that a man was yelling outside. When the dispatcher asked if Eskelsen had a weapon, he said no and that he had “fingers that are so numb they’ve turned into prunes. Even if I did have a gun I don’t think I could hold onto it right now.”
