Chandler police arrested a Phoenix firefighter Thursday after several women said they received sexually harassing phone calls.

Police tracked dozens of early morning calls to the union-issued cell phone of Phillip Michael Preston, 30, of Anthem.

According to police reports, a Phoenix firefighter’s wife who lives in Chandler told police in November that a man called her multiple times, uttering obscene comments and making sexually suggestive noises. The woman thought the caller was a co-worker of her husband, since she only got the calls when he was at work.

Police traced the call and subpoenaed Preston’s cell phone records, which revealed 23 blocked calls made in a half-hour time period early Nov. 14, the report showed. This was the same time period the woman talked to the caller.
