Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

iWon News - Man accused of repeatedly calling 911 for cab: "WACO, Texas (AP) - A man accused of calling 911 15 times in a row because he was tired of waiting for a cab was arrested early Tuesday, police said.

Each time Kevin Lewis Waits called, the emergency dispatcher told the man he had to call a taxi service and that police could not help him, said Waco police officer Steve Anderson.

Police eventually went to the apartment complex and found a cab waiting for Waits, who was also there but did not have the $26 taxi fee, Anderson said. Waits, 25, was trying to get to a house in town, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported in its Tuesday online edition."
