A Tamaqua man who had more than 100 contacts with police in the past two years faces charges of harassing authorities with calls about a rock in his yard being moved 4 inches, pool water ruining his grass and children making noise.David W.

His calls tied up emergency telephone lines and operators and kept police officers from responding to legitimate police calls, the affidavit says.
