911 Abused in Crow Wing County

Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl says the 911 emergency phone service is being abused. He tells KLKS News, it is for assaults, auto accidents, domestic violence, and those sorts of genuine emergencies.

Dahl says people are calling 911 for information, like when the fireworks begin. The Sheriff says the fireworks always begin after dark, and not so much during the day.

The non emergency number for the dispatcher is (218) 829-4749.
