Joliet Man Kept Calling 911 and Lying About Mob of Gun-Toting Drug Dealers: Cops

A Joliet man called 911 about 10 times over the course of a few minutes and lied about a mob of gun-toting drug dealers because he doesn’t care for his neighbors, police said.

Douglas Olson, 54, was jailed on a charge of disorderly conduct in connection with his alleged repeated dialing of the city’s emergency dispatch center late Wednesday night.

Olson claimed a group armed with .45-caliber handguns was standing around a car outside his North Raynor Avenue home and selling drugs, according to police, who said there was no such group.

During one call, a dispatcher reportedly warned Olson that if he called again he would be arrested. Olson allegedly called again.

Officers reportedly learned that Olson was making the calls out of ill-will for neighbors.
