HAYWARD, Calif. -- Authorities have arrested an alleged 911 cell phone caller who was believed to have made more than 27,000 emergency calls, overwhelming California Highway Patrol and Hayward 911 systems.

The 911 calls started flooding in last May. The caller responded to emergency operators with bodily noises, muttering and pressing beep tones.

"He completely overwhelmed our system," said Desi Calzada, manager of the Hayward Communications Center, which operates 911. "He delayed the answering of other 911 calls because we were answering his."

John Triplette has been arrested night for investigation of abusing the 911 emergency line, a misdemeanor.

1. How the fuck do you make 27,000 calls in one year?

What a weird dude, and this is such an important thing to be fucking with. He should have pranked a company or something. What's wrong with ordering pizzas?
