DONALDSON. LARRY WILLIAM
Larry William Donaldson
A drunken flurry of phone calls to 911 Tuesday night, trying to find out if a friend was in jail, earned a Pembroke area man a night behind bars.The friend wasn’t in jail, but Larry William Donaldson, 63, of Cecil Martin Road, talked himself into an arrest, according to Bulloch County sheriff’s incident reports.Donaldson cursed operators and threatened to tie up the phone lines Tuesday after operators told him the friend for whom he was looking wasn’t in the Bulloch County Jail.Sheriff’s Cpl. Reynaldo Rodriguez responded to Donaldson’s home around 8:30 p.m. after Bulloch County Central 911 operators reported Donaldson’s behavior.According to incident reports, Donaldson called 911 several times, looking for his friend. He also called the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office and spoke with a dispatcher, who assured him his friend was not in jail, reports stated.Apparently unsatisfied, Donaldson continued to call 911, used abusive language and called an operator vulgar names.When Rodriguez arrived at Donaldson’s home, “the offender was clearly intoxicated when I was speaking with him,” he wrote in reports. Donaldson was arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct and taken to the Bulloch County Jail.This wasn’t the first time Donaldson has been arrested for conflicts with law enforcement regarding the same male friend, according to Bulloch County Sheriff’s reports.
