Dialing 911 100 Times Finally Gets Man A Response, Arrest

Emergency-911

Authorities say a man in Michigan confessed he was drunk and bored when he dialled 911 more than 100 times in the span of about a month. Yahoo! News has more:

The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1v5YhGA ) the 25-year-old from the Grand Traverse County community of Kingsley in northern Michigan was arrested Thursday evening at his mobile home. Sheriff’s deputies say they found about a half-dozen phones used to call 911 since January and a hand-held police scanner.

Capt. Randy Fewless says the man didn’t say anything until his last call, but started “upping the ante” by “laboring his breathing” in successive calls when the police didn’t come to his home.

On the Thursday call, investigators say the man said he’d been hurt and needed help.
