UK Woman Who Rang 999 More Than 1,200 Times Is Jailed

[staysblazed_xo]

"Jelana Bobrova, 54, was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison after she continued to make 999 calls to police despite being given a criminal behaviour order.

Bobrova made 39 rambling calls to the emergency services in just four hours on Sunday 16 February during which she challenged police to arrest her, breaching the Criminal Behaviour Order she’d been given in November.

Sergeant Terry Collman said: “The Metropolitan Police answers more than 4.5 million calls per year. In 2019, there were 175,000 calls recorded as misuse calls.

“This amounted to a yearly cost to the Met of more than £1.3m.”

He added: “Nuisance calls to police are absolutely not acceptable, they are certainly not funny and are a huge waste of time and money.

“These calls prevent people who are in a genuine emergency from speaking to police and receiving help when they most need it.

Bobrova, of Clapham, south London, who was arrested on 23 February, denied making the calls, blaming a “technical glitch”.

She was sentenced the next day at Croydon Magistrates' Court after she was found guilty of breaching the Criminal Behaviour Order she received in November 2019, which banned her from making “false calls"."

I think she needs a mental eval, not a jail sentence.

OCD cry for help.
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again...

999 calls?!?

So, 998 calls are ok?

Asking for a friend.

999 is the equivalent to the 911 system in the U S.
She made 1,200 calls to the emergency line.
