EUSTIS --

Police are not laughing about a prank 911 call that they say was made by a man who claimed he was going to kill his baby.

Eustis police arrested Robert Brooks, 22, after they say he called 911 last month to say he killed his wife, and planned to kill his baby next.

Nearly three dozen officers and a SWAT team arrived at Brooks' neighbor's house before learning the call was a prank.
