Trial set for man accused of making phony active shooter 911 call
The trial of a Mundelein man accused of falsely claiming a gunman was at his place of employment as a scheme to leave work early was set for Aug. 19 by a Lake County judge Thursday.
Antonio P. Fletcher, 47, of the 400 block of East Hawley Street in Mundelein, is charged with disorderly conduct for filing a false police report, according to authorities. Fletcher called 911 about 1:15 p.m. May 6 and claimed there was a man with a gun threatening workers inside Ruprecht Co., 1301 Allanson Road, police said. Fletcher had been at work since 6 a.m. and left early, then made the call so his supervisors wouldn't notice he was gone, according to Mundelein police.
Fletcher will next be in court on July 24.
