Earlier this month, a 33-year-old man was shot dead in his car while traveling southbound on I-95 near Oakland Park, Florida. After the shots were fired, Nicholas Romondo Walker’s silver Buick crashed into a guardrail and burst into flames. The incident shut down traffic on the interstate<\/a> for nearly 4 hours. <\/p>\n

Now, some interesting details have emerged surrounding the incident, the suspects, and the events leading up to the murder – mainly that an ill-timed 911 butt dial led police to one of the men involved.<\/p>\n

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office says that the man who orchestrated the plot , 24-year-old Scott Simon, has been arrested and charged with first degree murder after he pocket-dialed 911 just moments before the fatal shooting occurred. They believe that the plot was hatched after the men got into a fight at a Waffle House.<\/p>\n

“On a recorded line, Scott Simon can be heard telling someone else that he\u2019s going to follow the victim home and kill him. Minutes later, 33-year-old Nicholas Walker was shot and killed while driving his car onto the highway,” said the Sheriff’s office in a release<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Authorities do not think that Simon actually pulled the trigger, so they are still searching for two other suspects in the case. <\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time that a butt dial to 911 has led to a criminal’s demise. Back in 2011, two men were arrested after one of the made an unknown pocket call to 911 detailing their plot to sell stolen video games at a local exchange store<\/a>. And last year, a man was arrested after butt dialing 911 during a drug deal<\/a>. <\/p>\n

It looks like the world’s worst superhero<\/a>, Florida Man, has struck again. <\/p>\n
