PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Letcher County man who called 911 asking for a ride got his wish, but he didn’t end up going where he wanted.

Police had already been called to the Pikeville Double Kwik Monday evening, over reports that 61-year-old Jeffery Bentley, of Jenkins, was harassing customers and employees, when 911 received a call from Bentley asking for a ride up the road.



When officers arrived at the store, they found Bentley in the bathroom, smoking a cigarette. He was given a ride to the Pike County Detention Center, charged with falsely reporting an emergency and disorderly conduct.
