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.

Wow, they arrested her? Seems a bit over the line, don’t you think? It’s obvious her mental state is not a superb one, but they should simply ignore her calls. She has enough problems already.

My god

I think the punishment should be ideal
Juicer says
Just like everyone, I am also wondering why she would do such a thing and I think she probably have some mental issues, seriously.
