GPS Nabs "Porno Man"

State police used Global Positioning System technology embedded in a cell phone to track down and arrest a man suspected of making 1-800 obscene phone calls to 911 operators over the past two months, reports 1490WBEX.

"Raymond LaBelle, executive director of Rhode Island's E-911, said the man sometimes called four to 10 times a day.

"He would call and use some dirty language and play a pornographic film in the background," LaBelle said. "The telecommunications operator who took the call would have to listen to the grunting and groaning and whatever else that goes along with that entertainment."
