Florida Woman Arrested after Harassing Police With 11,000 Phone Calls!

Police say the suspect admitted that she “loves playing this game” and that she made more than 11,000 harassing phone calls to a police emergency line this year. Carla Jefferson, 50, was charged on Monday for making a barrage of phone calls to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office and the St. Petersburg Police Department.

Harassing Police:

According to The Smoking Gun, a criminal complaint states that Jefferson made 512 calls to the police department’s emergency communications center in a single 24-hour period last month. Investigators claim that Jefferson “harasses, belittles, swears at, and debates with” the police officers who respond to her calls.

Florida Woman Arrested:

Jefferson has occasionally asked that police show up at her St. Petersburg home and take her into custody. Jefferson then “retreats inside, refuses to answer the door, and has in the past given officers the middle finger and screamed at them through the windows” when the police arrive, according to the report. This week, she was eventually detained and later freed on bond.

Gala organisers the Durham Miners' Association (DMA) wants to celebrate these workers, many of whom risked their lives to keep society functioning during the pandemic. Hosted by the Durham Miners Association since 1871, the Gala was cancelled for the last two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For more than a century, the Gala was funded by the working miners of the Durham coalfields but following the closure of the collieries it is now funded by donation and subscription through the Friends of Durham Miners Gala. The gala brings together the communal values, culture and mining heritage of the north east of England with 200,000 people expected to attend the event to listen to the brass bands, the speeches, to socialise and show their allegiance to the banners from former colliery villages throughout the north.
