Police deliver misdemeanor charge to drunken dialer

Calling 911 to order pizza led to a misdemeanor charge against a Pleasanton man on April Fool's Day.

Matthew Jason Marty, 39, was arrested at about 3:13 p.m. after calling 911 exactly 24 times, according to police reports. Police contacted Marty at his home in the 1300 block of Hopyard Road after the first five pizza delivery requests; although he appeared to be intoxicated, he apologized, but then called 911 to order pizza 19 more times in about 30 minutes.

He was charged with calling 911 for harassment.
