Peterborough Police Service say between 8:15 p.m. and 8:41 p.m., police dispatchers received approximately 15 phone calls to the police non-emergency business line, of which 13 were hang-up calls.

Police say the man is currently on conditions from a previous incident not to contact emergency services unless there is an actual emergency matter.

He was held in custody and is scheduled to appear in court later Friday.
