A Winnipeg man has been charged with public mischief after police say he got high on meth and made 79 fake calls to 911 in a five-hour period starting late New Year's Day. The first call was a report of a family being sexually assaulted at a home in the Burrows-Keewatin area, the release said. Staff did traces on the calls, many of which reported individuals in distress using fake names at fake addresses, police said. Around 3:55 a.m., police arrested a man at a residence on Boyle Street. He was detained in custody and charged with public mischief.
