A Troy man accused of harassing 911 dispatchers earlier this year was found guilty on nine of 10 counts last week in Lincoln County District Court.

A jury decided Dan J. Savage Jr., 47, was guilty of one felony count of violating privacy in communications and eight misdemeanors, including obstructing a peace officer, making false reports to law enforcement and violating privacy in communications.

The jury found him not guilty of felony intimidation, which carried the most severe penalty for a conviction - 10 years in the Montana State Prison.
