MAN CHARGED WITH 292 'FREE' CALLS TO 911 [+] ballot by aya ACTIVE Thu Jul 26, 07 - Fri Jul 25, 08 PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - A man charged with dialing 911 to chat with dispatchers nearly 300 times in the last month remained in jail Wednesday. Cheveon Alonzo Ford, 21, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with making obscene and harassing telephone calls. ADVERTISEMENT He told authorities he began calling 911 because "I have no minutes on my phone and 911 is a free call," the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. Ford was being held on a $50,000 bond Wednesday afternoon. Officers used GPS coordinates from Ford's cell phone to track his location to the west Pensacola home where he was arrested, the Pensacola News Journal Reported. "His phone service had been cut off and 911 was the only number he could dial from the phone," said Bob Boschen, communication chief for Escambia County. Boschen said many of Ford's 292 calls were sexual in nature. "When he would call and a male dispatcher would answer, he would hang up," he said. "Our policy says that if a caller is belligerent in nature we have to get enough information to process the call and then we can disconnect," he said. Any reason why he didn't just buy more minutes? he was dead broke he has the hots for 911 operators He's an idiot Register to submit choices Ballot #116441 : SEE RESULTS Comment: Register to submit comments You may still vote without registration show your vote with comment?
