CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - An Akron man who said he was upset with mask mandates thought he was calling a bomb threat into Canadian authorities.
Instead, he reached police in Ottawa, Ohio, approximately 600 miles away from where he initially intended on calling.
According to the sheriff’s office, the Putnam County emergency dispatch center received a phone call on Feb. 7 just after 11 a.m. from a man claiming that he was about to detonate a bomb in Ottawa near the “Overbrook” community.
The caller told dispatchers that the reason for the threat was “because of mask mandates form the government and that politicians and police officers would die because of the dumb mandates,” according to the narrative from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.

A short time later, the same man called the Putnam County emergency dispatch center again. He claimed using a fake name this time that he was shot and needed help near an address in Ottawa, Canada.
The dispatcher told the caller that he would forward the information onto authorities in Canada because he was calling Ottawa emergency services in Putnam County, Ohio.
Deputies said the man then realized he was calling the wrong Ottawa, admitting that he was calling in a fake report because he was “bored” and “that Canada was pissing him off with their mask mandates.”
