A two-part goof put officers at the back door of a Bethalto (Mo.) home, where they obtained permission from the owner to search the house, and found an illegal fully-automatic rifle. An unnamed dispatcher received a cellular 911 call and only heard a female voice screaming. Officers were dispatched to the ALI-displayed location, which turned out to be about a mile from the actual caller. When police arrived at the wrong home, they couldn’t make contact with anyone, and so walked next door to find a broken back window (which turned out to be accidental). They contacted the owner, who granted permission to search, and a modified, full-auto AK-47 was found. The suspect has now pleaded guilty in federal court.
