Authorities say a Manatee man's run of calling 911 with non-emergency issues ended on Tuesday at 18 in two months, after he called 911 three times and made accusations about a Manatee County Sheriff's Office deputy, according to a sheriff's report.
Deputies arrested David G. Bouchard, 55, of Bradenton, on Tuesday on a charge of misuse of 911, after authorities say he dialed 911 to report the front and back doors of a home open in the 5600 block of 19th Street West, across the street from his residence.
A deputy arrived and found Bouchard looking at the home across the street, and confirmed both doors were open. He asked Bouchard why he thought something was wrong.
"I have a feeling," he answered.
The deputy went across the street and asked a woman in the home if something was indeed wrong, and during that conversation Bouchard called 911 and told a dispatcher "the deputy who responded to the call was making out with prostitute that lives at the house."
The sheriff's report said it was the third 911 call Bouchard had made that day.
Another deputy arrived based on the second 911 call and investigation revealed that Bouchard had called 911 on 15 other occasions since Feb. 15, and had previously been warned not to make non-emergency calls on the 911 system, according to the sheriff's report.
The deputies then arrested Bouchard and took him to the Manatee County jail, where he was being held on $1,500 bond. On the way to the jail, Bouchard threatened that his arrest was not going to put a stop to his 911 calls, according to the report.
"Yeah, I've called 911 17 times and just because I'm going to jail doesn't mean its going to stop," he said.
