(BBC) A man who made 68 calls to 999 over a 90-minute period was later found to be drunk in his bed, not needing police assistance.
Nottinghamshire Police said the man consistently rang 999 and hung up on officers when they tried to find out what was wrong.
The force urged the public to only call in an emergency after the Newark man made the calls in September.
Officers said the number was “not there to be called for trivial matters”.
He told the emergency services “he didn’t know where he was” and then asked officers for more beer. He later admitted he did not need police assistance.
Police were also called by a disgruntled motorist after a city centre garage failed to accept his fuel voucher.
The emergency number was also called by an intoxicated Mansfield man who asked for help getting out of a shed.
