Submitted by Alafista on Thursday, 22 October 2009One Comment

Back in June, we read about this Woman Arrested For Making 80 Prank Calls To Police Station. If you thought that was impressive, then you gotta read this news about this 61-year-old man on Tuesday for making a true nuisance of himself and allegedly called the 110 emergency number over 12,000 times!!

Hisao Sumitani, a resident of Otsu, has admitted to the charge but was quoted by police as saying “the whole case is ridiculous.”

According to police, Sumitani called the Shiga Prefecture emergency number 12,300 times between December 2006 and Sept 30 of this year. Sumitani would shout into the phone at operators, and is accused of disrupting their duty. He also reportedly dialed the Otsu fire department 1,390 times on the 119 number.

Authorities visited Sumitani’s home four times requesting him to stop, but he refused to comply.
