Florida Woman Makes 11K Harassing Calls To Cops, Admits She 'Loves Playing This Game'
Suneeta Sunny | 08/12/22 AT 7:11 AM
Florida woman was arrested for making a torrent of phone calls to non-emergency numbers of police precincts, during which she allegedly harassed, threatened, and berated the officers, reports said.
The 50-year-old suspect, Carla Jefferson, who made 11,000 phone calls to the St. Petersburg Police Department and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor charge, Smoking Gun reported.
Jefferson's phone calls are around 10% of the total call volume to the St. Petersburg Police Department non-emergency number, the arrest report said.
During the phone conversations, Jefferson allegedly "harasses, belittles, swears at, argues with" officers who pick up her calls. If the officers hang up, she threatens to call them back again.
In a single day last month, Jefferson made 512 calls to the St. Petersburg department, the arrest report said. Jefferson has also admitted to the cops she "loves playing this game."
On some days, Jefferson has asked the officers to arrest her from her residence in St. Petersburg. However, when they respond, Jefferson "retreats inside, refuses to answer the door, and has in the past given officers the middle finger and screams at them through the windows," officer Christopher Bishop said.
"The content of these phone calls are vulgar, threatening, or obscene" and "contain extreme expletives, sexual innuendo, and belittling remarks to the communications staff," according to the court documents.
To bring an end to relentless phone calls, the police officials issued Jefferson a certified letter earlier this year, warning her that further abuse of the non-emergency line would result in criminal charges, the New York Post reported.
However, Jefferson ignored the missive, and continued the phone calls, which ended in her arrest in late June on a pair of misdemeanor counts. . . .

Put her on "call blocking" on every phone in the department(s).
She can call 911 if she has an emergency.
And if she repeatedly calls 911 when it's NOT "an emergency", arrest her.

So surprising.

They did, on Misdemeanor charges.

She posted bail, went home, and started doing it again.

That won't last long. The cops will get a brief reprieve when she's in jail on this existing charge.
-
1. Ban here from all phone service, land or cell.
2. When she tries using a friend's phone, one warning and after than a similar total ban.
3. Involuntary 72 hour commitment for observation. As often as she finds a way to re-offend.
