Show me the way to go home…

A man has been arrested after he repeatedly called US police to ask for a lift home.

James Finlayson kept ringing 911 to ask Bangor, Maine police to give him a ride - but it led to him being arrested for disorderly conduct and obstructing a public way after he swore at the officers when they asked him to get out of the road.

Police sergeant Paul Edwards told the Bangor Daily News: "He kept calling 911 demanding a ride home. He was belligerent and nasty to the officers."

The officer added the 34-year-old man was saying "he couldn't find his [expletive] way home".
