Sicko Phone Pranker Arrested

August 10, 2006 08:22 AM

Meet Patrick Ferguson.  This morning's Enquirer reports that he has been arrested for making 6 to 15 harassing phone calls, per day, for 16 years. 

His modus operandi?

The Kettering resident would research women's names, addresses and family details on the Internet, authorities said.

Then he used that information to make specific threats, such as "I'm standing outside of your brick house. Don't hang up. Talk dirty to me or I'll come in, cut the wires and rape you in front of your children," Anne Tamashasky, an assistant Warren County prosecutor who handled the case, said Wednesday.

Gee, that's not likely to scare anyone is it?  His sentence seems a little light to us: 420 days in jail, plus a 5-year ban on using the phone or internet.
