48-year-old Ricky Olburn Jones called the 911 emergency line about turning his power back on in the early hours of January 28th. Jones yelled and cursed at the officers when they arrived. Then, officers told him to call the power company, advising him that CPD could not help with the issue. Jones told officers that he would call 911 again. Officers informed him that he would be taken to jail for misuse of emergency services if he did. Jones called anyway, and he was taken into custody for excessive 911 calls.
