Eldon Man Faces Charges for 9-1-1 Abuse

Emergency Responders have issued the warnings for years, but they try to only enforce it in extreme circumstances: abusing the 9-1-1 call system can lead to criminal charges.  An Eldon man apparently crossed that line recently when he allegedly called 9-1-1 at least ten times despite warnings not to call back unless there was an emergency.  Authorities with the Miller County Sheriff’s Office say that Glen Strickland kept calling.  Now he faces a misdemeanor charge for misusing 9-1-1.  Strickland apparently was upset that his wife and son had been arrested the night before.  He’s scheduled for an arraignment on May 16^th.
