Between 10:42 p.m. and Sept. 14 and 12:44 p.m. on Sept. 15, troopers said a 50-year-old Anchor Point man contacted troopers on the 911 emergency line and the nonemergency line more than 20 times. Troopers said the man did not report an emergency or a need for a trooper response during any of the calls. Troopers said that over 14 hours the man became increasingly belligerent with emergency dispatchers. He called 911 and would hang up after saying a few words or making animal sounds. Troopers warned the man numerous times to stop calling unless he had an emergency or crime to report. He was told he created a hazard to the public by tying up emergency lines. After being warned he would be arrested for disorderly conduct and second-degree harassment if he continued to call, when the man kept calling, troopers went to his Anchor Point home and arrested him for disorderly conduct and second-degree harassment. Alcohol was a factor in the incident, troopers said.
