Busted For 911 Phone Sex
Florida man dialed up cops from shower "to have some fun"

NOVEMBER 12--Meet Joshua Basso. The Florida man was arrested yesterday after allegedly placing a series of obscene 911 calls during which he asked a female operator about her breasts and whether she would have sex with him. When confronted by cops, Basso would not say whether he was masturbating while talking to the operator, as he claimed during the calls, according to a Tampa Police Department report. The 29-year-old rooming house resident admitted placing the calls, but "did not think he would get in trouble for calling 911." That miscalculation resulted in Basso being charged yesterday with a misdemeanor count of misusing the 911 system (he was booked into the Hillsborough County jail, where the below mug shot was taken). Asked why he chose to dial 911 from among "all the numbers he could have called," Basso told police that his LG cell phone was out of minutes and he "called 911 because it was free." (3 pages)

HO-LY SHIT.

In 9th grade, our "Life Management Skills" teacher was a "Mr. Basso." He was always a little creepy.

In 11th grade, he was coaching girls JV Soccer and got dismissed for inappropriate contact with students. Much hush-hush whispering about molestation went around.

That was.........1995 14 years ago? He had quaffed black hair and was a short chubby italian guy who, I SWEAR, looks just like this guy! The man pictured has some grey in his hair, but DAMN-it looks like him!

This was in Winter Park, FL just down I-4 from Tampa/Hillsborough County.

I wonder if it is him...

You do not need phone service with land line or cellular to make a call to 911. You can take an old cellphone that has no service and dial 911. It's required by the FCC. Same goes for land line. You could have your phone service turned off for non-payment... or have no land line at all and still plug in a phone, get a dial tone and call 911... By the same account... if you have a pre-paid cellular and exhaust your minutes, you can call 911 at no charge.
