Man Arrested For Making Obscene Phone Calls From Hospital

<snip>

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. -- A man was arrested on charges he made dozens of obscene phone calls from an unexpected place -- a hospital intensive care waiting room.

Hank Steve Williams, 38, was charged Thursday with 38 counts of telephone harassment.

Officials said the suspect, who is not an employee of Sycamore Shoals Hospital, made the calls to at least five different women he didn't know over the past two months.

"He really had reached a comfort zone," said Elizabethton Police Capt. Mike Peters. "He knew the calls wouldn't be traced back to his number and he developed a pattern of making calls between 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on weekdays and noon and 2 p.m. on weekends."

Investigators arrested Williams after a surveillance camera allegedly caught him using the waiting room phone. Other evidence indicates such calls had been coming from the hospital since 2002, they said.

Peters said the investigation still has not revealed how Williams got his information about the names and numbers of the victims he called.
