Cops: Man Making 911 Calls Sought Help With Air Conditioner
INDIANA, Pa. (AP) - State police say a western Pennsylvania man with a penchant for making unnecessary emergency calls most recently complained of chest pains so he could ask medics for help with his air conditioner.
Twenty-six-year-old Travis Turner, of Indiana, Pa., was charged Wednesday with obstructing emergency services and disorderly conduct.
Troopers from the Indiana barracks say Turner has called county 911 dispatchers or the state police 63 times in the last three years for minor or harassing complaints.
They charged him in December, but the complaint was withdrawn and Turner was warned to stop making such calls.
But police say Turner called 911 again Sunday afternoon. When an ambulance arrived, Turner asked the crew to help him fix his air conditioner.
Turner's listed phone was disconnected Wednesday.
