Harassing 911 Calls, Now An Apology

Tuesday, August 25 2009

According to Peter Dubois, he picked the Portsmouth (NH) police comm center at random for a year-long series of harassing 911 calls starting in Nov. 2007. Dubois used an unregistered cellular phone to make nearly 100 calls, which became more profane as time went on. Finally a subpoena and technicians tracked Dubois to Vermont, where he was arrested last October and charged with 41 counts of telephone harassment. Now a Portsmouth District Court judge has sentenced Dubois to 90 days in jail, suspended if he complies with the other conditions: write a letter of apology to the dispatchers attend counseling and pay restitution to the police department for lost time handling his calls. In exchange, 37 of the counts were dropped. Dubois is due back in court in December to judge how he's meeting the conditions.
