No pizza delivery? Just call 9-1-1

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) -- An 86-year-old woman was jailed after police said she called emergency 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 emergency telephone hotline, jail spokeswoman Mandy Giannini said.

 

She told dispatchers Sunday that a local pizza shop refused to deliver to her south Charlotte apartment, said 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 (1.5-meter) -tall, 98-pound (44.5-kilo) 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 emergency telephone system, jail records show.

 

Remember the fastest way to get a pizza is to bite a police officer.

Sometimes they only taste like donuts.

Whoever wrote that report needs a thesaurus. They've used "Giannini said" 7 times and I don't usually nitpick, but still.

 

They also don't say if she ever got her pizza.

I WONDER WHY THEY'D SAY SUCH A THING

I think the various synonyms would have made it funny.

Ah, stupid old people.

 

When will they learn?

Octogenarian Pizza "Coot" Busted

North Carolina woman, 86, harassed 911 operators, resisted arrest

MAY 25--Meet Dorothy Densmore. The 86-year-old North Carolina woman was locked up in the Mecklenburg County jail for two days in connection with a bizarre pizza delivery incident. According to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department report, the octogenarian called 911 over 20 times in less than a half hour on Sunday. A police spokeswoman told TSG that Densmore's emergency was that a pizza place refused to deliver a single slice to her Charlotte apartment, and as if that wasn't upsetting enough, she wanted the person who answered the phone at the pizza joint arrested for calling her a "crazy old coot." Instead, it was the 5-foot, 98-pound woman who ended up posing for a mug shot after she allegedly scratched, kicked, and bit the hand of the cop who showed up at her home in response to all the calls. Densmore is charged with misusing the emergency telephone system and resisting arrest. (3 pages)

 

Well no wonder she called 911 if those young hooligans wouldn't deliver one slice to her. Bastards.

I kinda feel sorry for her.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Oh, she's nuts. Look at her.

[Sideburnious]

I watched Requiem for a Dream the other day and now all I'm doing is making a connection with the drugged out crazy mother in it with this woman.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Except this chick is obviously trying to eat.

That's not a drug face, though, that's a lonely and senile face, who's outraged at being arrested.

 

I'm betting the operator just kept repeating the same thing, to not call back, and eventually started threatenging police action. If she would've just said "Oh, we'll send someone over right away," she would've been satisfied and not called back, and forgotten about it half an hour later.

That's descrimination at it's worse. All she gets is resisting arrest? If it was a young black man, instead of an old white woman, he'd be doing hard time for assulting police.

[Sideburnious]

I don't think an 86 year old woman could assault much of anything let alone a police officer.

 

 

Besides look at that face, you cant stay mad at that face.

...with the added bonus of having a floor-lamp up his ass.

[Hunter's Torn Quad]

Was there not another pizza place she could call ?

 

Dope her up on Prozac, send her home, and let her piss and crap herself for a while.

You're joking, right? It's pretty obvious she's not healthy and probably doesn't even need to be home alone. You can't say the same for the avarage guy, no matter what race he is.
