Police in Florida say a man made a 911 call to report a crime on Friday, but accidentally incriminated himself in the process.
Jon Omer Sengul, 50, was arrested by West Palm Beach Police on March 22, after he told an officer that he’d paid four people to engage in sexual relations in his Days Inn hotel room.
Sengul, who is said to be homeless, reportedly shelled out $500 to the group of prospective lovers, but all of them failed to turn up and had seemingly ran-off with the cash.

Police arrived at Sengul’s hotel room to reports of theft, where the victim-come-defendant is said to have made a number of ‘incriminating statements’, according to a police affidavit.
‘I clarified with Sengul that he was telling me he solicited another person for sex — and he confirmed that he did,’ the arresting officer’s report reads.
‘Sengul said that he called the police because after giving the individuals the money they did not come to his room to engage in the aforementioned sexual relations.’
The illegal romp was set to take place at Sengul’s Days Inn hotel room, in West Palm Beach, Florida, but the four alleged sex workers failed to show
Sengul was then arrested by the officer and charged with purchasing the services of a prostitute.
He has no previous criminal record and he was released from custody on Sunday, having met his bail bond of $500.
A hearing for the case is scheduled for April 29, in Palm Beach.
West Palm Beach Police aren’t thought to have yet made contact with the four individuals accused of stealing the $500 issued to them by Sengul.
