Entitled College Professor Calls 911 on Herself

On a quiet afternoon at Kent State University, Dr. Ellen Glickman found herself locked out of a building. Frustrated, she dialed 911 for help, expecting her request to be handled as quickly as possible. But what should have been a simple request for assistance soon spiraled out of control.

“911. Where’s your emergency?” the dispatcher asked, a calm and practiced voice on the other end.

“I need to get into my building, please,” Dr. Glickman responded. Her voice wasn’t panicked, just matter-of-fact. She didn’t seem to think anything was unusual about calling the emergency services for help gaining access to a building.

“Is this an emergency? Can you look up the non-emergency number?” the dispatcher responded, clearly confused by the nature of the request.

“I need to get into my building, please,” Dr. Glickman repeated, unwilling to take no for an answer.

After a brief exchange, the dispatcher reluctantly agreed to send help, though she advised Dr. Glickman to reach out to the university’s own police department. This was the first hint that something was off—911 was not meant to be used for non-emergency requests like this. But Dr. Glickman was not deterred, and what happened next would prove that the professor had little regard for the rules that the rest of society followed.

Officer’s Arrival: A Simple Check Turns Into a Confrontation

Just minutes later, Officer White and Officer Wulmarmac arrived at the scene, ready to assist. They found Dr. Glickman standing by the door of the building, looking impatient and irritated.

As they approached, the officers began to assess the situation, trying to understand why a 911 call had been made for a simple lockout. But Dr. Glickman’s response was anything but cooperative. She was agitated and defensive, dismissing the officers’ attempts to clarify the situation.

“You have no right to stop me,” she said, her voice sharp, as if the officers were in the wrong. The interaction, which had started as a simple misunderstanding, quickly turned into a confrontation. Officer White, sensing that something was not right, asked if she had been drinking.

“I had a drink,” Dr. Glickman responded, a nonchalant answer that didn’t seem to take the situation seriously.

The officers, who were clearly trying to manage the situation calmly, continued to ask for identification, sensing that something wasn’t right. At this point, they had a duty to ensure Dr. Glickman wasn’t impaired or causing a disturbance. But instead of complying, Dr. Glickman’s attitude grew more entitled and defiant.

A Tense Standoff: Drunk or Just Arrogant?

As the conversation continued, it became clear that Dr. Glickman was not just upset about being locked out; she was upset that she was being questioned at all. Her demeanor became more combative as she insisted she was fine to drive, even though the officers had smelled alcohol on her breath. When they attempted to stop her from leaving, she argued, “I have a Tesla,” as if the car’s self-driving capabilities gave her a free pass to drive under the influence.

The officers, aware of the potential danger of an intoxicated driver, remained firm. “You’re not going to drive home,” Officer Wulmarmac told her. But Dr. Glickman wasn’t having it. She insisted that she was fine and even threatened to call her “husband,” who she claimed had recently undergone surgery. Despite their best efforts to diffuse the situation, Dr. Glickman’s attitude remained unyielding.

“I’m fine,” she repeated, brushing off the officers’ concerns as if they had no right to question her actions. “You’re going to leave me alone. I’m going to go pee, and then I’m leaving.”

As the situation escalated, the officers grew more concerned about Dr. Glickman’s behavior, especially as she continued to avoid cooperating. Her refusal to provide identification and her dismissive attitude left the officers in a difficult position. But the tension reached its peak when Dr. Glickman, refusing to comply with any of the officers’ instructions, was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct due to intoxication.

The Arrest: A Humiliating Fall From Grace

The arrest was nothing short of dramatic. Dr. Glickman’s previously calm and collected persona crumbled as the officers attempted to take her into custody. “I’m calling my husband,” she shouted, her voice rising with frustration. “You have no right to do this!”

Despite her protests, the officers calmly and methodically explained that they had every right to arrest her, given the evidence of intoxication and her refusal to comply with their lawful requests. The arrest was not just for her public outburst, but for her complete disregard of the law and the officers’ authority.

“You’re under arrest for disorderly conduct,” Officer Wulmarmac said, securing her wrists with handcuffs. Dr. Glickman continued to argue, demanding that she be allowed to call her husband and dismissing the charges as unfair. “You have no right to do this!” she cried.

As the officers led her to the police vehicle, the reality of the situation began to sink in. The woman who had once held a position of authority and respect at Kent State University was now being treated like any other criminal, arrested for something as simple as not following the law.

The Aftermath: Consequences and Reflection

Dr. Glickman’s arrest didn’t end with a quiet ride to the police station. The incident, which had been caught on camera, quickly made its way to social media. The video of her defiant behavior and the officers’ calm professionalism went viral, sparking debates about entitlement, the abuse of power, and the consequences of ignoring the law.

The university took immediate action, removing Dr. Glickman from her administrative role as director of the School of Health Sciences. While she was still employed as a faculty member, her reputation within the university community was tarnished.

Students and faculty who had once respected her now questioned her behavior, and her online reviews on Rate My Professor plummeted, with many students citing her entitled attitude and failure to listen as reasons to avoid her classes.

Conclusion: The Price of Entitlement

Dr. Glickman’s story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of entitlement and the belief that one’s status can shield them from the consequences of their actions. In her mind, she believed her position as a university professor and director excused her behavior, but the officers who encountered her saw only a person violating the law.

While Dr. Glickman may have thought she was above reproach, the reality was that no one is immune to the law. Her arrest, and the fallout that followed, was a stark reminder that the rules apply to everyone, no matter their title, education, or profession. The incident not only cost her career but also her reputation, serving as a powerful reminder that no one is above the law—especially those who believe they are.
