Overview

• Ryan Ferguson, 25, admitted making three bogus 999 calls in November 2024 that triggered multiple police deployments despite no actual emergency.
• Merseyside Police recognised his number by the third incident and declined to dispatch officers to the false report.
• At Liverpool Magistrates’ Court on August 4, he received a 17-week immediate custodial term for causing wasteful employment of police.
• The court also imposed a two-year criminal behaviour order that prohibits non-genuine emergency calls and requires him to surrender his phone upon request.
• Ferguson, who has 20 prior convictions and links to neo-Nazi imagery, said he acted out of perceived political persecution but admitted the incidents were fabricated.
