An Iowa City man who reportedly was upset about the constant noise at his apartment complex got himself arrested after repeated calls to the city’s emergency line.
The incident occurred last week, from late Thursday into early Friday at the Town and Campus Apartments on Arthur Street. 68-year-old Sherman White allegedly called 911 8 times to report a noise complaint.
Officers told White that he cannot call 911 for those types of issues and was given a warning. However, he continued to call 911 when he had been told that a noise complaint was not an emergency.
White was arrested and charged with 911 false report, a simple misdemeanor. A non-jury trial has been scheduled for February 21st.
