Woman Arrested for Calling 911 Instead of Plumber: Police
NBC Miami ^ | Friday, Jun 21, 2013

Talitha Myrvil, 28, called 911 because she had water in her apartment and needed someone to co me fix her problem, Fort Pierce Police said.

A woman was arrested after she called 911 various times instead of calling a plumber, Fort Pierce Police said.

Talitha Myrvil, 28, called 911 because she had water in her apartment and needed someone to come fix her problem. But when speaking to the dispatcher, she was told to call a plumber instead of 911, the arrest report said.

Instead of calling a plumber Myrvil decided to call 911 again, the report said.

For a second time, she was told to call a plumber—not 911.

That’s when Myrvil pulled the fire alarm so that the fire rescue could come to help her, the report said.

When fire and police arrived to her apartment, she told authorities she had pulled the alarm in hopes of getting her water problem fixed, according to the report.

“Myrvil said she did not have a number to a plumber, so she pulled the alarm,” the report said.

She was arrested June 9 for charges including misuse of 911 and pulling fire alarm without a fire. It wasn’t immediately known if she had an attorney.

She probably attended public school. Children in public school know all about “global warming” and that Obama is a “hero,” but not about problem solving. She probably can’t even read.

Actually happened at a church in the community. SEALED BREAKER BOX. This was a really high risk situation since the basement had several seperate down the stairs entrances!

You are wise;).

Flooded basements can be very hazardous - especially if you have never experienced the problem and/or how to cope. This incident helps illustrate how knowledgable electricians and plumbers have to be in order to work safely and effectively. God bless 'em.

Why didn’t she just call one of her kid’s daddies? Never mind——

It’s a wonder that someone hasn’t yet tried to scam people like this by publishing a direct phone number to “Obama” for solving all of their immediate problems…

Yuck! Water. Like out the toilet?

Too bad it wasn’t Brawndo (it’s got what plants crave!).

“I’d suspect that, with your breaker box underwater, the water would have already tripped the breaker feeding your house (and those around yours).”

That would be correct, it would short out.

She used her ObamaPhone to call.

It only needs a dozen or so contact entries: her dealer, a few baby-daddies, and her extended welfare brood.

For everything else, there's 911.

To many people in America that are entirely dependent on the government for everything. They are absolutely non-functional (compare to dysfunctional).

In this case though it’s probable the lady didn’t know what a breaker box was all about.”

You only have one of those if you have a CB or are trying to call Smokey the Bandit. Right???

Probable? I'd say it's a lead pipe cinch.
