Crank Caller Keeps Jerking Local News Team Around

PLATTSBURGH, NY—The Channel 5 Action News Team was duped once again by a crank call to the WPTZ breaking-news hotline Monday. “I should have known it was too good to be true that Jared [Fogle] would be filming a commercial at the Subway on Campus Drive,” reporter Graham Johnson announced from the scene of the restaurant. “I knew that British accent seemed familiar, but it wasn’t until we’d all jumped out of the van and rushed into the Subway that I figured it out. The same guy called about the escaped ape last week.” Johnson vowed never to ignore his journalistic instincts again.
