Man learns casino losses not deductible
DELAND, Fla., Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Officials in Volusia County, Fla., confirmed an Arkansas phone sex operator complained about prank calls from a county government line.
Dave Byron, a Volusia County spokesman, said the woman reported receiving multiple phone calls to her hot line from a number identified by officials as an outgoing trunk line for the Thomas C. Kelly Administration Center, the Daytona Beach (Fla.) News-Journal reported Monday.
Byron said the report could be a hoax, but the professional demeanor of the complainant led officials to believe her story. A county e-mail said officials are unable to determine which phone the calls came from or which employee was responsible for the pranks.
County officials and the woman declined to give specific details about the calls.
Byron said no investigation is being pursued due to the costly nature of such an undertaking, but officials will look further into the issue if complaints about prank calls persist.
