A New Jersey woman allegedly made a false 911 call in order to divert
police away from the bar in Wayne she and a friend were drinking in so
they could leave and not be caught driving drunk.
Police said that Hayley Oates, 25, posted on social media after she
called 911: “lmao.. 2 mins later the cop peals out..silly piggies tricks
r for u,” Detective Capt. Laurence W. Martin said in a statement.
Oates, from the Lake Hiawatha section of Parsippany, was arrested on
Thursday and charged with filing false reports to law enforcement and
creating a false public alarm, Martin said.
She was released pending a court appearance. Martin called Oates’ alleged actions “inexcusable and reprehensible behavior,” and said police officers place themselves in harm’s way daily responding to real events. Officer Gregory Halligan and Sgt. Donald Davidson were dispatched to Mother's Ale House at around 3:15am on Monday morning after the department received a 911 call reporting “a female being attacked in the parking lot.”
The caller told the dispatcher that the suspect was in a blue pick-up truck before abruptly hanging up. The officers raced to the bar with their lights and sirens activated and found no evidence of an assault and no witnesses, Martin said. The surveillance cameras in the area did not pick up any assault. Detective Sgt. Robert Simpson and Detective Dave Collins determined that Oates allegedly made the fake call to draw officers to Mother’s Ale House while she and an unidentified man could leave the Grasshopper Bar and Grill without being stopped for driving under the influence, Martin said.
