(La Porte County, IN) - If you listen to the police scanner, you may have caught an alarming emergency call on Wednesday.

Police received a call from an intoxicated male saying that he had killed his brother-in-law. He gave a residential address near the Heston Hills Event Center. Chatter on the scanner indicated that he had wanted to do it for a long time.

First responders did their due diligence. A trace of the call revealed that it had originated from outside of Houston, possibly from La Porte, Texas. Police think it was the same individual who made similar calls a few years ago.

Police did a welfare check, just in case, and confirmed that there was no murdering going on.
