Man named James Taylor gets arrested in Colorado after calling 911 more than one hundred times

James Taylor is a famous folk singer-songwriter, but he does not live in Colorado, and he is not the guy who called 911 over 150 times in one day and got arrested for it…although, that guy is named James Taylor also.

The James Taylor I speak of is from Pueblo, Colorado, and on January 8 called emergency dispatch 150 times. Some of the calls were “regarding loud noise.”

Investigators then learned Taylor had an active misdemeanor warrant for harassment by phone threat/obscene due to previous threats to dispatchers. When police went to his house, Taylor refused in-person contact but “engaged” with officers over the phone. He then “shouted” from inside his home and “became increasingly belligerent with dispatchers throughout the night.”

Police were eventually given access to Taylor’s home after they informed him of his warrant, at which time the man acted calmly and was taken into custody with no further incident.
