A 27-year-old local man faces charges after allegedly calling police dozens of times for non-emergency matters, the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service said in a news release.

Authorities said that the accused “called the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service more than 60 times for non-police related reasons” between April 9 and May 1. Officers warned the man repeatedly to stop unless contacting them for legitimate policing purposes.

On May 2, Sault police charged the man with harassing communications and mischief.

The accused was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court June 30.
