A Guelph police constable at the courthouse warned him not to dial the number for that purpose, police said.
On Wednesday, police said he went back and asked for help with the same documents but he was once again told that staff could not help him.
The man was told he’d be charged if he called 911 again, but according to police, he did. He’s now facing a mischief charge.
A 45-year-old has a court date on March 26.
