TAMPA, Fla. --
Florida police say a man arrested for repeatedly calling 911 looking for sex
claimed it was the only number he could dial after running out of cell phone
minutes. Tampa police said 29-year-old Joshua Basso made
sexual comments to the 911 dispatcher and asked if he could come to her house.
Investigators say she hung up, but he called back four more times.
He was arrested about 15 minutes later at his home late Wednesday and charged
with making a false 911 call. Basso reportedly told officers that he didn't
think he would get in trouble for calling 911.
Tampa jail records show Basso is being held without bond but don't indicate
whether he has an attorney. He is listed as unemployed with arrests for theft
and other crimes dating back to 2001.

I'll bet his family is proud. Imagine how impressed the other cons will be
after they ask, "What are you in for?"

Well, if what we hear about incarceration is true--incarcerate Joshua
Basso---we will then be "killing two birds with one stone"---he'll be out of our
hair and he will surely get his "sex".
