Police in the San Francisco area are trying to hunt down a prankster who has phoned in nearly 2,000 fake emergency calls to 911.  Authorities say the man who identifies himself as "Nomar" has reported being a victim of everything from a drug overdose and a possible heart attack to robbery and attempted suicide. A police spokesman says because they can't determine it's a false call, they send people out. The fake calls have tied up dispatchers and sent police and firefighters on wild goose chases.  Police have determined the phone originated with a company in Oklahoma that donated old employee cell phones to an organization that distributes them to the homeless. The phone has no service carrier, which has prevented investigators from discovering any further personal information about the caller.  Investigators are documenting all the calls in hopes of eventually prosecuting the man.  ***MARLAR: At which point he’ll be punished by his phone number being given to all of the world’s telemarketers.
