911 call asking for cigarettes leads to arrest
GRANBURY, Texas (AP) - A Texas woman wanted to make sheriff's deputies the butt of a joke, but she picked the wrong audience when she called 911 to have cigarettes delivered to her home.
Hood County sheriff's Lt. Kathy Jividen says the 48-year-old woman was "very intoxicated" when she requested the special delivery on Feb. 11.
Jividen says the caller instead received a visit from two deputies and was arrested. She was charged with a misdemeanor count of abuse of 911. She was later released from the Hood County jail on a $1,000 bond.
The woman lives in Granbury, about 65 miles southwest of Dallas.
Jividen says the woman thought it would be amusing to call 911 to place her order.

I bet she doesn't think it's so funny now LOL
I had a drunk lady call my house once. She kept saying "Come pick up your GD kids". I told her she had the wrong number and that I didn't have any kids. She just couldn't understand. I finally hung up. She called back and I let the answering machine get it. She still repeated for me to come pick up my kids. I kind of felt sorry for the kids involved. To this day I don't know who it was.
Wonder how long it will take before this makes the Leno segment known as "Dealing With The Public" which features the most ridiculous 911 calls.
