An abusive alcoholic who dialed 999 over 170 times in 16 months has been banned from swearing in his own home.Foul-mouthed Paul Crick, 45, flooded the emergency line with 171 calls
between April 2012 and August this year. When police and paramedics
arrived at his home in Waltham Abbey, Essex to help he subjected them to
a torrent of abuse.
Essex Police said Crick also caused a “significant level of disturbance
and distress to his neighbors” by constantly shouting and swearing.
Magistrates in Chelmsford, Essex slapped Crick with an ASBO
banning him from swearing for the next five years – even when in his own home.
Presiding magistrate Russell Pearson told him: “No shouting, even in
your own home if you are heard by all your neighbors.” The other
conditions stipulate that he must not to be verbally abusive, shout,
swear or use foul or offensive language in any public place to other
persons outside or at their home address.
