(MOUNT PLEASANT, WI) — I scream, you scream, a 4-year-old boy has called the cops after his mother ate his ice cream, police have said.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred last Tuesday in the town of Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin — located seven miles west of Racine — when police were contacted by a 4-year-old boy who said his \u201cmom being bad,\u201d according to a statement released by the Village of Mount Pleasant Police Department last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficer Gardinier and Officer Ostergaard were dispatched for a 911 hangup,\u201d authorities said. \u201cA little boy called 911 saying his mom was being bad and needed to go to jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

When officers arrived at their home, the young boy said, \u201chis mom ate his ice cream and needed to go to jail for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also told police that \u201che no longer wanted her to go to jail and just wanted some ice cream.\u201d<\/p>\n

The good-spirted officers subsequently left the home once they verified that this was indeed the reason why they had been called out but they returned back the next day, this time to surprise the boy with some ice cream \u201cafter he decided he didn\u2019t want mom in trouble anymore,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n

The responding officers weren\u2019t the only ones to find humor in the situation either.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not saying he\u2019s right. All I am saying is I understand,\u201d said one person responding to the Village of Mount Pleasant Police Department\u2019s post about the incident on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least he knows how to call for help,” said another response. “It could save someone\u2019s life one day!\u201d<\/p>\n

The officers involved even took a picture with the 4-year-old after the whole incident was over and were able to find humor in the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love hearing about our amazing officers creating positive relationships with kids,\u201d another social media user said. \u201cKeep the good news coming!\u201d<\/p>\n
