CHARLOTTE, N.C. May 25, 2005 — An 86-year-old woman was jailed after police said she called 911 dispatchers 20 times in a little more than a half-hour all to complain that a pizza parlor wouldn't deliver.
Dorothy Densmore was charged with misusing the 911 system, a jail spokeswoman said.
She told dispatchers Sunday that a local pizza shop refused to deliver a pie to her south Charlotte apartment, said Officer Mandy Giannini. She also complained that someone at the shop called her a "crazy old coot," Giannini said.
Densmore wanted them arrested. Instead, police came to arrest her, and she resisted, Giannini said.
It's unusual for someone to face charges for nonemergency calls, Giannini said. But on Sunday, Densmore kept calling 911, even after she was told to stop, Giannini said.
When an officer arrived at her apartment, the 5-foot-tall, 98-pound woman attacked him, Giannini said. Densmore scratched him, kicked and bit his hand, she said.
Densmore also is charged with resisting a public officer and two counts of misusing the 911 system, jail records show.

Maybe they'd dealt with her before and didn't wanna do that again. |

They played the 911 tape of her calls on the Cincinnati news last night... it was fairly obvious that this lady NO longer needs to be living on her own! She is most definately suffering from some sort of dimentia and probably more...
One of her calls to 911 was to ask them to check the balance on her banking accounts! When the dispatcher told her that wasn't possible the old lady launched into a tirade, saying the lady must be an orphan... things of that nature.
If she's got no family it will end up being quite a sad story... but if she does, they need to commit her somewhere where she can receive full-time care because she is "out there." |

Aawww. That's really sad. I feel bad for her, I agree that she needs caring people to help look after her... not getting thrown in jail. |

I love this site The Smoking Gun, you know? Some times I look to see who of my Celebrity Friends has been caught doing things that are not cool, you know, and I am sure they look to see if Raoul has been charged for making love to too many women, right? Okay, so don't get Raoul started on that one...Rrrraoul |

It is sad...but if she's lucid at all the right moments, her family might not suspect anything. |
