Man charged after calling 911 to report zombies, ghosts and a UFO

Deputies said Clinton Wayne Nelan repeatedly called 911 to report zombies, ghosts and a UFO, and they charged him with misuse and impersonation.

  • On Sunday, Randolph County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Clinton Wayne Nelan of Elkins for repeatedly calling 911 to report zombies, ghosts, and a UFO at his residence in Kerens, West Virginia.
  • Responding to multiple emergency calls, investigators determined the paranormal reports were false and that Nelan was misusing the 911 system to report fabricated incidents.
  • During the encounter, Nelan falsely claimed to be a police officer from Louisiana, leading investigators to confirm he held no law enforcement position and file an impersonation charge.
  • Deputies transported Nelan to Tygart Valley Regional Jail, where he is being held on a cash-only $2,500 bond while awaiting arraignment on both charges.
  • Formal charges of misuse of a local emergency telephone system and impersonating a law enforcement officer were filed by the Sheriff's Office, concluding the investigation.
