911 abuse leads to arrest

906

On Sunday evening, one man’s seemingly never-ending penchant for calling 911 got him a warning, and then a trip to Chatham-Kent police headquarters.

Officers police responded to Nichols Avenue in Erieau about 9:30 p.m. Sunday to conduct a well-being check after receiving a dozen 911 calls from the residence.

Police located the man, whom they say was highly intoxicated, and cautioned him on the misuse of the 911 service.

When the man continued to call 911, officers returned and arrested him. 

A 44-year-old Erieau man was arrested and charged with mischief. He was transported to police headquarters and held until he was sober.
