Man gets prison time for making false 911 calls

Salina PD Patch withoutSALINA, Kan. (AP) — A man accused of using various names to make 26 false 911 calls to Salina authorities in 24 hours has been sentenced to a year and four months in prison.

Forty-two-year-old David Slover was sentenced Monday.

Slover pleaded guilty to one count of criminal threat and three counts of interference with law enforcement by falsely reporting information.

Authorities said emergency responders received the calls between Aug. 3 and Aug. 4, in which Slover reported various emergencies at a Salina Motel 6. He also threatened to burn the motel down unless his money and wallet were returned to him.

Police say Slover was found by an officer at a truck stop and that he had three cellphones with him.
