Rialto man charged with making some 7,000 calls to San Bernardino County sheriff's dispatchers
A Rialto man is facing misdemeanor charges for allegedly making thousands of nuisance phone calls to San Bernardino County sheriff's dispatchers, potentially interfering with personnel involved with emergency services.
"We were receiving upwards of 80 calls an hour from this guy sometimes," said Mara Rodriguez, spokesperson for the San Bernardino County sheriff's department. "We didn't link them to any emergency or any real incidents. A lot of them were continuous hangups that we received.""We never consider these types of calls as being funny, as being a joke, we don't take it lightly.
In a statement to Eyewitness News, Sheriff Shannon Dicus said mental health may have been a factor with the suspect's actions.
