Wake the Lakes “Moron Lawbreaker of the Week” 8-22-23

Man Allegedly Called Sheriff’s Office Over Seven Thousand Times

A man from Rialto, California was arrested last week, accused of making thousands of non-emergency prank phone calls to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.  Luke Edward Dumas, 48 was arrested last month, after he was identified as the alleged source of the spam calls.  According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Dumas made as many as 7,000 spam calls to the Sheriff’s Department beginning back in April using a blocked number. The calls were “annoying and harassing” to staff, and prevented them from taking other calls, officials added.  An investigation was launched and Dumas was eventually identified as the suspected caller. He was taken into custody and booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.  He awaits several charges related to the calls, as well as additional charges for resisting an officer and reckless driving.
