A man has been arrested almost immediately after being bailed for calling the 131444 number over 70 times in a 24-hour period.
It will be alleged that about 11am on Tuesday 14 October, the Police Communications Centre received a call on the 131444 number from a man who began swearing and abusing the call centre staff member.
The call was terminated and the same man then began calling 131444 more than 70 times during the day and night.
About 5.20am today (Wednesday 15 October), patrols went to the man's Hectorville home and arrested him for use carriage service in harassing or offensive way.
A few minutes after the 47-year-old man was bailed and released, he used a phone to call 131444 again, which was in breach of his bail conditions.
He was arrested again just outside the City Watch House and was again charged with use carriage service in harassing or offensive way, along with breach of bail.
He was refused bail.
