An 81-year-old man was jailed Tuesday after allegedly making repeated nuisance 911 calls to Bedford County Communications Center.
Howard Oaky “Hawkeye” Crosslin, 81, of Cleveland Road called 911 four times saying he had an emergency, laughed and hung up, a Bedford County Sheriff’s Office report said. A recording of the fourth call includes a crude comment made to dispatchers. The calls were pinged to Lazy Branch Road, where Deputy Justin Merlo found Crosslin walking.
Crosslin allegedly denied making the calls, but Merlo had a dispatcher call his number and the phone rang. Crosslin then admitted calling 911 because he needed a ride to Normandy, Merlo said.
Crosslin has called 911 on recent occasions seeking rides and was charged as well. He is charged with misuse of 911 and was being held on $2,000 bond Wednesday.
