Woman Arrested After Calling 911 And Asking For A Pen

911 is for emergencies only. The fact that you need a writing utensil hardly qualifies as one, but a New Hampshire woman was arrested after dialing 9-1-1 and asking for a pen.

According to CBS Boston, this woman had called 911 ten times in a month, but her final call had finally gone too far. Her conversation with a dumbfounded dispatcher went something like this:

I just want a simple thing...A pen.

A pen. This woman called 911 because she wanted a friggen' pen!?!

The dispatcher had some harsh words for the woman and how she was tying up the line for people that might actually be having emergencies.

The woman was charged with Misuse of 911 and was being held in jain on a $5,000 bond.

It baffles me how someone would even contemplate calling 911 for something as stupid as a pen, but it seems to happen way too often. Here are just a few examples from my dumb criminal stories:

• Florida Man Calls 911 And Demands Kool-Aid, Burgers & Weed
• North Carolina Man Calls 911 To Report Drug Dealer For Not Delivering Cocaine And Marijuana
• Woman Calls 911 For Help Ordering Chinese Food
• Man Calls 911 To Order A Cheeseburger
• Florida Woman Calls 911 To Tell Sheriff How Good The Jail’s Bologna Sandwich Was
• Connecticut Man Calls 911 Over Deli Sandwich Order
• Missouri Woman Calls 911 To Get Refund From Crooked Crack Dealer

You can't fix stupid, I guess.
