A Florida woman had a lot of time on her hands. Authorities say she was arrested earlier this month after allegedly calling two police precincts more than 11,000 times this year and berating whoever answered the call.
In the complaint obtained from the Smoking Gun, Carla Jefferson allegedly targeted both the St. Petersburg Police Department and Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities say she “harasses, belittles, swears at, argues with” the person on the other line. She is accused of calling the St. Petersburg department 512 times over 24 hours in early July.
Jefferson is also accused of calling the departments about 30 times each day, to the point she represented 10 percent of the non-emergency line calls received by the St. Petersburg Police Department this year alone.
The complaint states the phone conversations would usually involve Jefferson directing “extreme expletives” and “sexual innuendo” toward whoever answered the police lines.
The complaint also accuses her of demanding that the police arrest her during these calls, only for her to refuse to answer the door for responding officers and give them the middle finger once they arrived at her residence. The department previously sent out a letter that warned her that she would be arrested if she continued to call the precinct repeatedly.
In late June, Carla Jefferson was arrested and charged with harassing phone calls she was eventually released on a $400 bail. Before her arrest earlier this week on the same charge, she had once again contacted the department and challenged police personnel to come arrest her before allegedly admitting to them that she “loves playing this game.”
