Officials say a 13-year-old boy made 365
telephone calls to the Heber Springs police department in May and
June, harassing dispatchers and reporting fake emergencies.
Police say they`ll seek felony charges against the boy -- whose
name wasn`t named because of his age.
Police say the culprit used profanity and played music in many
of the calls.
Police are reviewing hours of dispatch records to sort out how
many charges the boy could face. Results of the investigation will
be turned over to an attorney who prosecutes cases involving
juveniles.
Investigators believe the boy reported emergencies near his home
or the homes of friends so he could watch officers respond.
