Hamilton police have arrested a man who has allegedly called 911 almost 250 times in the past year.
Police communications received six 911 calls between 3:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. on Thursday.
Each time, the caller would not speak and hang up.
A short time later, officers went to the Hunter Street address from which the calls came to check on the well-being of the caller, who police say refused to open the door for over an hour.
