Texas Woman Calls 9-1-1 Asking for Cigarettes
Corpus Christi Caller-Times
GRANBURY – A Texas woman wanted to make sheriff’s deputies the butt of a joke, but she picked the wrong audience when she called 9-1-1 to have cigarettes delivered to her home.
Hood County sheriff’s Lt. Kathy Jividen says the 48-year-old woman was “very intoxicated” when she requested the special delivery on Feb. 11.
Jividen says the caller instead received a visit from two deputies and was arrested. She was charged with a misdemeanor count of abuse of 9-1-1. She was later released from the Hood County jail on a $1,000 bond.
The woman lives in Granbury, about 65 miles southwest of Dallas.
Jividen says the woman thought it would be amusing to call 9-1-1 to place her order.
