A Florida woman was arrested for making 12,512 phone calls to police precincts this year.

Carla Jefferson, 51, "harasses, belittles, swears at, argues with" whoever picks up her incessant calls to the non-emergency lines of the St. Petersburg Police department and the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, according to a court document.

Jefferson’s calls account for 10% of incoming phone traffic to the St. Petersburg Department this year, according to officials.

Last month, Jefferson called the precinct 512 times in a 24-hour span. The calls were described in the affidavit as "vulgar, threatening, or obscene."

Every incoming call made to the police department communications center is answered. Call takers handle emergencies and hundreds of requests for help every day.

"They're talking to people who are scared, who are on the worst day of their life because they need police," said Spokesperson Yolanda Fernandez reportedly told Fox 13. "And on top of that, they have to deal with somebody who's just calling to harass them."

When she got arrested she was allowed one phone call. Any guesses who she called?

She’s lonesome and needs attention. A boyfriend would do.

Well, as Gomer Pyle would say, “Surprahs, surprahs, surprahs.”

She should have gotten a warning after the 12,511th call.

[asinclair]

Headline is wrong. "911" is not the "non-emergency line."
