Sheriff's Son Arrested For Prank 911 Call

CHATTANOOGA, TN – Chattanooga Police, Fire, and Hamilton County EMS were dispatched to a downtown grocery Sunday night when a caller said someone was firing shots and people were down. It turned out to be a false call, and the caller – the son of Catoosa County Sheriff Phil Summers – was placed under arrest.

Police and emergency personnel were dispatched to Buehler’s Market in the 400 block of Market Street. The caller advised Hamilton County 911 that shots had been fired and people were down. When officers arrived on scene, a witness told police who had made the call, and that it was a false call.

Officers immediately located the alleged caller and detained him.

Jeremy Summers, 28, admitted to officers that he had indeed made the call. He was placed into custody and charged with public intoxication, false reports, abuse of the 911 system, criminal impersonation and commission of acts of terrorism.

The sheriff’s son has had several brushes with the law in the past, including a prior case in Hamilton County.

the only problem i have with the story as a whole is what difference does it make that he is a LEO's son. you never read a story that reads Billy Joe Jim Bob son of attorney/cabinet maker/plumber Bobby Joe Jim Bob...
i think it is unfair to the father/mother etc. to get heat because their son is an idiot.

I wonder how this disrespectful, immature jackass would've felt if a police officer or fireman or paramedic had been killed in an accident while trying to respond to that bogus call? Good arrest, Chattanooga PD - I hope the judge throws the book at him!

I agree it has nothing to do with the way he was raised, I find it insulting that this 28 year old not 8, pulled a stunt like that, sorry but he needs to feel the consequences and be in jail for a awhile.

I love the fact that he was arrested despite the fact that his father is the Sheriff. The laws are in place for everyone. That includes the Sheriffs brat! He embarassed his father and himself.

His Daddy has been in law enforcement for 33 years. Little Jeremy didn't learn from the last several run-ins with the law that booze ain't your friend. Bail won't be of much help in learning his lessons. Let him sit.
