CINCINNATI -- A suburban Cincinnati man has been arrested after police said he kept calling 911 every time he got drunk.

Richard Hughes.

Richard Hughes, 27, was charged Thursday with making false alarms, Hamilton County court records show. Police said he had been given a spoken warning three times and was given a written warning one day before he was arrested after calling 911 again and requesting a life squad.



Police say the behavior has been going on for months, and that he is abusing emergency services. Police said the Colerain Township man has been evaluated repeatedly and told each time there is no medical issue.

"The arrested continues to abuse emergency services by calling 911 for a life squad every time he gets highly intoxicated," the police report said, according to Cincinnati.com.



Hughes has pleaded not guilty and remained jailed Sunday with $30,000 bond. A message was left for his attorney. His next court date is April 6.
