Another great stupid human story

Working on the streets for over a decade you see the 911 system get abused. You have probably heard about a woman calling once because a McDonald's was out of chicken nuggets. And I got a call from a woman because because her 16 year old would not do her homework. I had to explain to this rather shocked woman I was not here to raise her children.

With that in mind, here we go again.
Texas woman arrested after calling 911 for cigarettes, police say

GRANBURY, Texas – Authorities in North Texas say a 48-year-old woman called 911 to have a deputy deliver cigarettes to her home.

Hood County sheriff's Lt. Kathy Jividen says the woman, a Granbury resident, called 911 on Feb. 11 asking for the cigarettes. Jividen says the woman 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.

Jividen says the caller was "very intoxicated" when she dialed 911.

Granbury is about 65 miles southwest of Dallas.
