A pensioner who made over 7,000 nuisance phone calls to emergency services has been jailed for 39 months. Roger Jackson, 77, made the calls to Sussex Police and SECAmb from September 2020 and was continually abusive to emergency service contact officers.

Since September 2020, Jackson has wasted more 400-hours of time while speaking with contact officers from Sussex Police and SECAmb. He persistently abused contact handlers from South East Coast Ambulance Service (SECAmb), making almost 4,000 calls (3,976) through to 999.
