Florida woman arrested for calling 911 over 12,000 times this year

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."

It only averages about 33 calls per day. Cops can’t take a little criticism?

More hard hitting news from Fox.

Bashing and banishing ratings gold Trump and his supporters turned them into worse than Yahoo or CNN.

They have the nerve to bash CNN etc.

Look who the fools are in this picture.

What the heck? You think there’s only 230 days in a year?

12,000 calls divided by 365 days comes out to 32.8 calls per day.

She should be made to spend a year in a jail cell without access to any phones!

“Headline is wrong. “911” is not the “non-emergency line.””

The 911 operators also answer the non-emergency lines.
