Dorchester man discovers that, yes, police do come faster if you tell 911 an armed man is breaking down your door

John M. Sullivan, 42, of 11 Victory Rd., then also learned that if there is no armed man breaking down your door, you could get yourself arrested, police say.

Police say Sullivan called 911 around 12:05 a.m. today:

Officers, based on the nature, responded to the call with lights and sirens and immediately made their way to the caller's apartment. At the apartment door, officers, with their weapons drawn, were met by the caller and who exclaimed, "There is no gun, I just wanted you guys here quicker!"

A drunken Sullivan, police say, really wanted police to deal with a neighbor who allegedly "bangs on his door and thinks that he owns the building!" Sullivan, police say, began to scream racial epithets about the neighbor, drawing neighbors out of their apartments, which cops really hate. When Sullivan refused to go quietly back into his apartment, and instead continued to rant, he was arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace.

Innocent, etc.
