She allegedly calls to "harass, to cuss and just degrade" the emergency call-takers, St. Petersburg police spokesperson, Yolanda Fernandez, said in a statement.

According to Times Now report, police in his report estimated that over the last eight months, Jefferson dialled 911 at least 12,512 times. Her repeated and incessant calls accounted for 10% of all the incoming calls to St. Petersburg PD.

"This is not just somebody who's called police a few times or, you know, abusing the system a little bit. This is someone who is..this is just way beyond, we have not had anyone who crossed the line like this," Fernandez told Fox 13. In a shocking state of affairs, she once called in 512 times in a 24-hour span only to deliver “vulgar, threatening or obscene” messages, according to the precinct.
