Professor called 911 just to open a door for her — cops showed up and taught her a hard lesson

The 911 teams are trained with expertise to help victims and callers in the best way possible, but uncooperative and negligent citizens can greatly compromise this. Then-director of Kent State University, Ellen Glickman, called 911 on herself, reported Kent Stater. Her request? The need to get into the Nixon Hall, the Health Sciences building. A video shared by Midwest Safety on January 16 revealed that after several attempts from the dispatcher to get her to dial the non-emergency number, an officer showed up. He realized that she was unable to swipe a card she had in her hand and open the door. When the officer uncovered the real reason, he tried to negotiate with her, but she was adamant about her own antics and ultimately paid a heavy price. 

The clip revealed the professor’s conversation. She repeatedly demanded that she needed to get into the building, and after pestering attempts, an officer arrived. The first thing he asked her was, “Did you have anything to drink?” adding that he could smell alcohol on her. The woman casually claimed that he had one drink with a colleague. However, the officer informed her that he had to ask her to do a couple of tests to ensure she was fine because she seemed tipsy. Now here’s the shocking part: the woman had the card in her hand to open the door, but still couldn’t gain access.

When the cop inquired about the reason, she said the card didn’t work. “You're trying to swipe two cards at the same time, which kind of shows me you're lacking some motor functions,” he explained. He even added that her speech was slurred and her eyes were glassy. Things got a little heated, and the officer cautioned the woman that she couldn’t drive back home. Upon entering the building, after several minutes of back and forth, Glickman was determined to drive away, claiming she wasn’t drunk and would manage on her own, but the cop knew better and insisted she not leave until someone came to get her. Getting completely riled up, she threatened to report the officer and added, “You’re harassing me.” 

He repeatedly tried to explain that she was not in a condition to drive alone, but she refused to listen. He even suggested she call someone, but the woman kept making up excuses and insisting she was sober. After nearly 10 minutes of her only arguing back, the officer had no choice but to put handcuffs on her. She retaliated and got aggressive, but eventually, the cop did his job and arrested her. An updated report later shared that the woman cited some kidney-related reaction instead and claimed she was not drunk. However, her actions cost her, and she was immediately demoted to another position.

Eventually, she was charged with intoxication and disorderly conduct, and after doing community service, she was free. Glickman still argues that she was not drunk that night, but officers state otherwise. A study revealed that alcohol does work like a “central nervous system depressant,” which causes intellectual impairment, reaction time, and even an impact on reflex and coordination. This can lead to slurred speech or mismatched motor functioning, as in the case of Glickman. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed staggering statistics about drunk driving. Every day, 34 people die due to drunk driving in the United States.

The report noted that poor judgment, lack of coordination, and muscular control, as well as slurred speech, are all impacts of intoxication and can seriously affect driving and thereby a person’s life. The officer was simply trying to prevent the mishaps. Retired officer John noted that things could have gone well had she just cooperated, but she was being “entitled.” “The street doesn't care if you're a doctor, a boss, a teacher, or a cop. Drunk is drunk,” he remarked.
