Ga. police: Upset councilman spills food on official at diner

WARNER ROBINS, Ga.

Police say a city councilman in Georgia lost his cool at a Waffle House and covered a city official with food during an argument.

A police report says 72-year-old Warner Robins Councilman John Williams spilled food, coffee and water on Tony Robbins on Monday morning during an argument over parking. Robbins is chairman of the downtown development authority.

The councilman told WMAZ-TV that it was an accident and he did nothing wrong. Robbins told the Telegraph of Macon that the councilman lifted up his place mat, and the food and drinks spilled all over him.

Authorities in the central Georgia town have referred the case to a judge. No one has been arrested.

Maine man arrested after ‘pocket dialing’ 911

BANGOR, Maine

Police in Maine say a man wanted for failing to pay fines accidentally helped officers find him when he repeatedly “pocket dialed” 911 while doing yard work.

Police say 29-year-old James Green was using a backpack leaf blower in Bangor on Saturday when he kept calling 911 without realizing it.

Police Lt. Jeff Millard says officers were able to determine where the calls were coming from by triangulating the signal from Green’s phone.

The Bangor Daily News says there were two active warrants for Green’s arrest for failure to pay fines.
