Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a Littleton man for harassing and obstructing the county’s 911 system by making an excessive number of calls.
Jeffery Sales, 29, was arrested Sunday after 911 operators asked him to stop calling the dispatch center. Deputies said Sales belligerently told the operators he would continue to call the center “to waste resources.”
Deputies first came across Sales late Saturday night after he was evicted from Lodo’s Bar and Grill in Highlands Ranch but refused to leave. Deputies arrived and escorted him out.
A short while later, early Sunday morning, deputies were called by the dispatch center about the troublesome caller. They connected the calls to Sales and his cellphone.
They arrested him on suspicion of harassment and obstructing government operations, both misdemeanors.
