Troll fakes hostage stand off

OAK FOREST, Ill.— A five-hour presumed barricade situation Thursday in south suburban Oak Forest turned out to be an elaborate hoax, police said.
The man who was supposed to have been holed up inside in his home actually was stringing police along from his cellphone while at a neighborhood restaurant-bar.
In response to a call from "a friend" of the hoaxer that the man was drunk and threatening bodily harm to himself, police about 4 p.m. cordoned off an area from 159th Street to 163rd Street and from Central Avenue to Long Avenue. About a dozen neighboring residences were evacuated. Police units from Hazel Crest, Homewood, Tinley Park, Chicago Heights and other communities were called in.
Members of the South Suburban Emergency Response Team were called in, bringing the number of law enforcement personnel to about a hundred.
Oak Forest Deputy Police Chief David DeMarco said police spent nearly an hour shouting over a microphone to get the presumed barricader to come out of the home on the 5500 block of Babette Court.
"We tried getting him out of the house. We broke some windows, we threw in pepper spray. Eventually we gained entry. While the search team was inside, we received a call from a friend that the owner was in a bar the whole time."
Reports said a suspect was arrested outside Beggars Pizza and taken to a hospital for mental evaluation. Mayor Hank Kuspa was quoted saying the hoax would cost the village tens of thousands of dollars in overtime.....
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Good thing this was a hoax, he would for sure have killed himself.

They probably had the SWAT team standing by, ready to kill him if he harmed himself.
