A Florida woman was recently arrested for overusing the 911 system, according to law enforcement in the Sunshine State.

Helen Alberta Thompson, 60, stands accused of one count of misuse of 911, Marion County court records show.

But, police suggest, the charge is a long time coming.

Authorities allege the woman dialed the county’s 911 dispatch line well over 30 times last year alone.

The latest incident was technically medically-related, authorities say. Thompson allegedly called to complain about her knee, according to a probable cause affidavit filed by the Dunnellon Police Department.
