POST FALLS, Idaho -- Police say a northern Idaho man called 911 a dozen times to report being overcharged at a bar and now faces a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. Post Falls police Capt. Pat Knight says an officer gave Phillip Poissonnier of Post Falls a ride home after he was kicked out of Club Tequila just after 1 a.m. Monday. Knight tells Spokane, Washington, television station KXLY that Poissonnier then made 12 emergency calls, the first wanting officers to come back to discuss his bar tab. The TV station reports a bartender produced Poissonnier's receipts showing he was charged $30 for the 10 beers he ordered. Police say he faces a misdemeanor citation for misusing 911.
