Man's 911 call causes 'screwdriver' confusion
Confusion over whether a man imbibed too many screwdrivers - the drink - or was stabbed by a screwdriver - the tool - led to a screwy situation for police and fire crews.
The man called 911 on his cell phone around 7:40 p.m. on Wednesday and was slurring his words as he "told a dispatcher he'd been drinking screwdrivers all night" and thought he was in a Dumpster, said Maurice Luque of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. Erring on the side of caution, police officers and firefighters searched for around two hours for a man who may have been stabbed with a screwdriver, Luque said.
When they found him, he was neither stabbed nor in a trash bin, but rather in bushes next to a clothing store at Midway Drive and Sports Arena Boulevard, authorities said. It turned out the man was in need of medical aid, as he was suffering from "alcohol-induced" internal bleeding, Luque said.
