BEAVERTON, Ore. – A homeless man who called 911 from the hot tub of a suburban Portland home and asked for towels, hot chocolate and a hug got arrested for trespassing instead.

Beaverton police say Mark Eskelsen called 911 from his cell phone, identified himself as “the sheriff of Washington County,” and asked for medical help. He later admitted he wasn’t the sheriff but informed the dispatcher he’d been “yelling for about an hour and a half.”

The man said in his Sunday morning call that he’d been in the water about 10 hours and his towels had gotten wet. As he put it, “I just need a hug and a warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in it.”

The Oregonian newspaper says arriving officers arrested Eskelsen for investigation of second-degree criminal trespass and improper use of 911.

    Why can’t we comment on the gang summit.

    @the Chicago Gang Summit. BHO is withdrawing many troops from Iraq. Many will be sent to Afghanistan while many will be sent back to Iraq. The remaining will be entering a job market with real unemployment at 19% with little or no opportunities. I suspect these soldiers will be dispatched to various cities across the country essentially as mercenaries. Brothers need to unite quickly and leave the “life” alone. This ultimatum from the city leaders is very real. The thing is, these brothers have caused so much destruction and havoc in the neighborhoods, the law abiders will be cheering these death squads coming in and cleaning house. RICO is how the mob in NY was broken to their knees back in the 90′s

    I’m appalled and angry. I thought the police were here to PROTECT and SERVE! They couldn’t give this man a hug after he spent all that time in a hot tub? SMDH…lmao But seriously this was funny as hell. Sometimes news don’t have to always be “So Sincere” and depressing.

    Thats not even funny because its more common than you think, if your without your name on a deed or a lease then your infact “Homeless” and there are all to many people who are homeless with mobile service lol

    WTH!!! Just when you think you have heard it all here come some more funny s**t….Damn if he was homeless he had it made it the shade to be chilling in a hot tub and then to call the cops saying he wanted a hug…He could have hugged his damn self for having the opportunity to be sitting in the hot tub getting his bath/chill on. He must’ve been drunk or something

    “I just need a hug and a warm cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows in it.” LOL, i tried not to laugh, but this line got me. But on a more serious note, sounds like he needs a mental hug from a therapist, and hopefully he can get transitioned back into society.
