    Intruder in hot tub: 'I just need a hug, and a cup of hot chocolate'

    BEAVERTON, Ore. - "Believe it or not, I'm the sheriff of Washington County," the caller said to a 911 operator.

    But it wasn't the sheriff; instead, it was Mark Eskelson, a 45-year-old homeless man.

    He had climbed over a fence surrounding a hot tub at the Four Seasons Recreation Center in Beaverton early Saturday morning. Eskelson yelled to passersby for help getting out of it, but when no one would respond, he called 911.

    The dispatcher asked him if he was sure he didn't need any medical help. Eskelson said he was sure.

    "I'm positive. I just need a hug, and a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows would be nice. But I don't think I need any medical help, no," he said.

    Eskelson didn't get a hug; instead, he got arrested for trespassing and misusing the 911 system. However, when police checked his phone, they noticed he never called 911, but rather routed after he called 411.

    Police said they found marijuana on him and that he appeared to be on drugs at the time.

    I would have given him a hug, if by hug he meant kick in the ass!

    That's quite sad. Rather creepy, certainly, but sad. I used to live in a shelter for the homeless and the loneliness that haunts most people on the streets/in shelters is mindblowing.

    Not that I approve of trespass or abusing emergency numbers.

    I am going to guess the picture adds to the creepy factor. I heard the 911 call this morning before I saw his picture, and he was quite polite, and also asking for a towel. You're right, Ceraaa, it really is sad.

    I don't get how a confused, crazy person calling for help getting out of a hot tub is abusing the 911 system. Besides the fact that he didn't call 911 anyway.

    The best 911 call I have ever posted here was the Dearborn, MI cop that ate pot brownies. "I think I'm dying! I'm dead. Do you know the Red Wings score?"

    It was so fucking funny.

    I don't get how they can charge him with Misuse of 911 when the phone call lead to his arrest?  I mean they wouldn't have known shit about the trespassing if he didn't call :lol:

    When I started to make the article this morning there was a youtube video of the 911 call. By the time I was ready to post, it was gone. He was so super polite. He really wanted a towel, and said he had been locked in there for hours. :-(

    Awww...so he called information (411) and the operator forwarded his call to 911.  All he wanted was a hug and a hot chocolate.  :-(

    How can they charge him with misuse of the emergency system?  They can get him for the trespassing and pot tho.
