HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) - Two women have been arrested on suspicion of making a hoax emergency call that led police to order a man from a Hutchinson garage at gunpoint while he held a 3-month-old baby amid a custody dispute.
The Hutchinson News reports that the women were arrested Wednesday and booked on suspicion of making a false call for emergency services.
An affidavit read Thursday during their first appearance says police surrounded the garage after receiving a call that an armed man had battered two family members and didn’t want to return to prison. No one was hurt before or during the call.
