The officer called the phone number on the caller ID and asked the man who answered about the unwanted calls. He responded by saying, "mmmhhhmmmmm." When the officer asked him his name, he said, "That is none of your business." The female officer reminded the man the phone calls were a crime. When the officer told the man she would have police come to his residence, he said, "Go ahead, I'd like to see you try and find me." The officer traced the phone number to an Arvada residence. She and another officer met an Arvada Police officer at the residence on the 9800 block of West 51st Avenue. The man's sister said he lived at a different location. The officers contacted the 27-year-old man at the Van Gordon residence. He apologized and said he and his friends were "just messing around." The officer advised him making prank calls and giving false information to an officer could result in charges. The man was released with a warning.
