MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. - Ibis Rene Cabrera dialed 911 and presented his apparent issues -- he lacks a job and wants to go back to Honduras.

A Martin County Sheriff's deputy met with Cabrera following the alleged drunken Aug. 28 call, and the 28-year-old Stuart man expressed a desire for a ride to Honduras, a recently released report states.

"I advised him that we did not give rides to other countries and to stop calling 911," a report states.

Instead, Cabrera called 911 seven more times in less than an hour, "laughing and yelling at the 911 dispatcher," the report states.

Rather than a chauffeured trip to his Central American country of choice, Cabrera got a ride to the Martin County jail.

He was arrested on a misdemeanor misuse of 911 charge.
