Most people try to do everything they can to keep out of a police cell.

But one male decided that he would call 999 and ask the police if he can spend three nights each week in a police cell.

Details of the bizarre call were shared by Derbyshire Police Contact Centre in order to highlight the issue many police contact centres have when it comes to people misusing the 999 system.

A spokesperson for the contact centre said on twitter:

‘We have just received a 999 call from a male asking if he can sleep in a cell for 3 nights a week…

‘YES, really!

‘No, we are not a hotel’.

Whilst police forces are still having to cope with the financial fallout of ‘austerity’, it is unlikely that police cells are going to start appearing on ‘Air BnB’ anytime soon!

Remember to check out the ‘hoax’ calls section on our website which is dedicated to highlighting the hoax and unnecessary 999 calls which are made to the emergency services.

Not only do the individuals who make these sort of calls waste precious time, but they also risk the lives of people who might be in genuine need of emergency help from getting the assistance they require.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
