Woman arrested for non-emergency 911 calls

Benton, Ill police have arrested and charged a woman, Tabitha Artis, with disorderly conduct for allegedly making several 911 calls that the police didn’t consider true emergencies.

Artis was persistently dialing up the county’s 911 system. She first called 911 last Saturday to complain that her husband had left their home with her car keys. A neighbor later reported that the Artises were fighting and the police ended up taking Mr. Artis away on a suspected parole violation.

Shortly after the first call Tabitha Artis called 911 three times during a 25 minute period. She was calling to demand an explanation for her husbands arrest. Emergencies were already busy with calls regarding a weather related power outage and since she could have been calling the police station directly, the police decided to arrest the woman.

Lottery winner gets attacked

A few months ago a 55 year old woman was about to go into the Virginia Lottery office to cash winning lottery tickets worth $10,000 when she was attacked.

The two men who attacked her are now behind bars. Blake Jordan and Kenneth Marshall, both 22, apparently attacked the woman with a hammer. They’ve been charged with maiming, attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

One of the men is apparently a nephew of the 55 year old woman. Isn’t that cold blooded?

Keary Fox, 56, a lottery worker, first hear the woman scream at 1:10 pm so he ran outside and saw Jordan on top of the woman. He put Jordan in a headlock while a customer took the hammer out of his hand. The pair held him until police arrived. Marshall was arrested later in the day.

The woman suffered lacerations to the back of the head. Lucky for her that lottery worker came by when he did or she might have had worse injuries or perhaps even have been murdered.

Angry wife was really fired up

A spurned Chinese wife from the Eastern province of Shandong China was so upset with her husband that she set more than 400 cell phones on fire!

The couple co-owned a successful retail business and when her husband walked out on their marriage she retaliated by destroying their stock of mobile phones valued at more than $42,000 US. After she set fire to the phones she walked out of the house.

Luckily neighbors saw smoke coming from the house and called the firefighters who extinguished the blaze quickly.

The 37 year old woman has been arrested for arson.
