Man calls 911 more than dozen times trying to get taxi

WACO, Texas (AP) - Waco police today found a taxi waiting outside an apartment complex as they located a man accused of calling 911 at least 15 times to summon a cab.


The incident led to the arrest of 25-year-old Kevin Lewis Waits of Hillsboro.


Officer Steve Anderson told the Waco Tribune-Herald that Waits apparently was frustrated that he couldn't get a cab and kept calling the emergency line.


A dispatcher informed Waits that he should call a taxi service - not 911.


An officer at the scene determined Waits didn't have enough money for the cab fare.


Anderson says Waits was taken to a hospital after he told an officer he'd used methamphetamine.


A McLennan County Jail clerk who declined to give her name said Waits remained in custody awaiting bond on charges of harassment and theft of service.
