A man was banned from calling 999 after a year of hoax calling police while drunk.
Over the last year, Stuart Walton, 58, of Himalayan Birch Close, Ellesmere Port, made 85 hoax calls to Cheshire Constabulary via 999. On many of the calls, the 58-year-old was found to be verbally abusive to control staff during the telephone conversations.
Walton was regularly drunk and purposely obstructive during these calls, refusing to provide his details before hanging up. Between Monday, August 9, 2021 and Friday, May 13 2022, Walton spent roughly two hours making hoax calls.
