A man in Florida is in jail thanks to an inadvertently dialed cell phone:
OAKLAND PARK (CBSMiami) - A man, before fatally shooting another man on I-95, accidentally called 911 which recorded his plan for murder.
Scott Simon was arrested Tuesday night for the murder of 33-year-old Nicholas Walker, who was shot while driving his car onto I-95.
It was a butt-dialing blunder that led police to the man they say orchestrated the fatal shooting. Now they’re looking for his co-conspirators.
In the accidental phone call to 911, Simon is recorded telling someone else that he’s going to follow the victim home and kill him.
Simon has been charged with first-degree murder for his involvement in the killing of Walker on May 5th, although Broward Sheriff’s Office homicide detectives don’t believe he was the one who fired the gun.
Next time, make sure the cell phone is off when announcing your murder plans.
