Good sentence him to a summer of cleaning porta potties in Banff in July.

A 70-year-old man has been charged with mischief after calling 911 to complain about an Amber Alert for five missing children.


Hamilton police, who claim the man was trying to "purposely tie up" emergency lines, say they believe it's the first time someone in Ontario has been charged for calling to protest one of the emergency broadcasts.


The man called 911 at 5:04 p.m. ET Tuesday, a few minutes after the alert went out, according to Acting Det. Sgt. Lisa Chambers, who said it quickly became clear the man didn't have an emergency to report.


"Simply put, he was angry about receiving the Amber Alert on his phone because he was trying to rest," she said. "And then he further told us he would continue to call in response to the ongoing alerts."
