FRUITLAND PARK, Fla. -- A man faces several charges after calling 911 to try to get a date with one of the emergency dispatchers.

Police tell ABC affiliate WFTV that Eduardo Raoul Garcia called 911 and asked the female dispatcher if she was single. He then began to hit on her while describing his "big muscles."

The dispatcher eventually told Garcia that it sounded like he'd been drinking. He hung up but then called two more times.

The dispatcher traced the call and sent police looking for the man. They found him camping in a tent at a state park with an open beer in his possession and three more cans by his side.

As officers began to arrest the 44-year-old, the police report says Garcia told them he wanted to headbutt and kill them. He then spit on the back of the head of one of the officers while sitting in the back of the cop car.

Garcia is being held on battery on a law enforcement officer and misuse of the 911 system, the Orlando Sentinel reports. His bond was set at $2,500.
