Police in Waco, Texas, found a taxi waiting outside an apartment complex as they located a man accused of calling 911 at least 15 times to summon a cab.
The man, identified as 25-year-old Kevin Lewis Waits, of Hillsboro, was arrested for the incident.
A McLennan County Jail clerk who wanted to remain anonymous said that Waits remained in custody awaiting bail on charges of harassment and theft of service.
Officer Steve Anderson told the Waco Tribune-Herald, a newspaper there, that Waits was apparently frustrated that he couldn’t get a cab and kept calling the emergency number.
A dispatcher warned Waits that if he wanted a cab he should call a taxi service, not 911, which is for emergencies only.
An officer at the scene determined that Waits didn’t have enough money to pay the cab fare.
Anderson says that Waits was taken to a hospital after he told an officer that he had used meth.
