Two Lake Forest residents are facing battery charges after police said they pushed officers who responded to a false 911 call at their home.

After police checked in and around the home, they determined that 50-year-old Robert H. Cameron had falsely reported the break‐in so police would eject a partygoer at his house after a disagreement.
