EASTLAKE, Ohio - Calling 911 landed a northern Ohio man behind bars after police said he dialed the three-digit number repeatedly.
Eastlake police posted to the department’s Facebook page that on Wednesday, Aug. 1, Edward Marunowski, 47, of Ashtabula, called nearly 70 times within several hours, disrupting the dispatch center and emergency services.
Eastlake officers then enlisted the assistance of Ashtabula police, who served Marunowski with an arrest warrant at his home.
According to police, Marunowski resisted arrested and now faces charges in both Ashtabula and Eastlake.
Marunowski remains lodged at the Lake County Jail pending bond or arraignment.
