Woman called 911 for more smokes
By QMI Agency
SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. - A Northern Ontario woman was charged with mischief on Tuesday after police say she wouldn't stop calling 911 to ask them to pick her up some smokes.
Police say that Moira Williams, 67, of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., had been drinking and ran out of cigarettes when she repeatedly called the emergency line to ask police to go to the store and buy her some.
Williams was warned several times to stop calling unless she had an emergency, police said. By 3:15 a.m., police drove to her home and arrested her.
She is to appear in court April 12.
You know I'm getting a little sick of these 911 operators and cops taking their jobs so damn seriously. I'm sure noone was hurt or in danger in that sleepy ass Canada town on a Tuesday night. Would it have killed the 911 operators to pass along the message to the cops to get this lady some smokes. If she was really jonesing for a square and couldn't get out of the house herself then I'd say that is an emergency. People just have no sympathy these days. For shame.
