Man Arrested After Calling 911 Repeatedly Over a . . . Toothache?

Now here's your classic dumbass: not only stupid, but he causes problems for other people AND gets arrested. Here's the story from ABC4:

Thirty-four-year-old Brook Akins called 911 dispatchers 12 times in the span of five hours with most of those calls lasting around 30 minutes each. He said his tooth hurt and he was tired of the pain. He refused an ambulance, didn't want a visit from police, but wanted phone numbers for someone who could help ease the pain . . .

. . . Akins' needs were not clear to dispatchers so they sent police to his apartment for a welfare check. He was also warned he could be charged with 911 Abuse. But that didn't stop the calls. Akins continually asked for help but dispatchers were unable to find out what he needed.

. . . Akins finally pulled out all the stops and said he would tell CNN's Nancy Grace and "the record would become clear" when it would be broadcast on TV.
