Woman Arrested for False 911 Call to Avoid Date
A North Liberty, Iowa, woman went to extreme lengths to get out of a date.
Eighteen-year-old Sumaya Thomas was arrested after she called 911 and fabricated a story to avoid a date with a man she had met on a dating app. The two had planned a romantic evening, but when the man arrived at her doorstep on June 16, Thomas got cold feet and decided to call the police.
Thomas told the dispatcher that the man was an abusive ex who was threatening to cause her physical harm. She even falsely claimed to be pregnant with his child and said he planned to “hit, punch, kick, and stab her.”
When officers arrived, the man explained that he had only met Thomas online about a week prior and provided proof of their messages. Upon discovering the truth, police arrested Thomas for falsely reporting a crime. She now faces several charges, including making a false report on a 911 call.
