A person who knowingly makes a false or misleading material statement to a public servant is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. "Material statement" means a written or oral statement reasonably likely to be relied upon by a public servant in the discharge of his or her official powers or duties.
Silly!
As the victim (you), I'm talking about you requesting and reviewing the 911 call given to a (public servant), the officers that got sent on the call, because of it (public servants)....via a FOIA request to the police department. You indicated that they requested your personal info for their "report", so it should be on the record, if you want to pursue this....
....and the (father) that likely made it from across the street on his cell phone....if he overstated the threat (maybe he said you were "waving the gun around", that required such a heavy handed (IMO) response, then it may be that you have grounds to file a complaint against the 911 caller....the police will have to investigate...and at a minimum you can let them deliver the message back to the dink that ruined your day.
Sorry, I misread it. I thought it was making misleading statements ABOUT a public Servant. I got ya, now.
