I thought this was a joke for approximately 2.5 seconds and then instantly remember not only had a famous athlete before him done something similar, but this is also Ron Artest we’re talking about.

That’s what a 41-year-old man from North Charleston, SC thought when he called 911 to report he had been given incorrect change. Oh, that minor technicality?
