So I called 911 from my cell and it rang and rang and rang. After I hung up, I was pleased to get 2 calls back from different dispatchers at the Lee County Sheriff's office so at least I know they're not sleeping on the job. Apparently, people like the woman in your article are using 911 for a lot less serious problems. I'm glad she went to jail. 911 is for an emergency.

Just after 8:30 this morning, Temple Terrace police say they received a call that the resident of a home on 5400 E. Busch Blvd. was injured and that a man was in the yard firing a revolver.

When police arrived at the scene, they saw a familiar figure walking from a payphone at a nearby Kmart where the calls were made, according to a report.

According to the report, police questioned Lorrie Ann Fernandez, 39, who denied making any calls. Then the officers recognized Fernandez.

Last month, she called 911 to report that someone was possibly injured and that she heard gunshots. At the time, she told police that she called 911 because she wanted to know what her neighbors were doing.

That time, the police let her go. She was not so lucky this morning.

After she was read her rights, Fernandez told police that it wasn't against the law to make 911 calls.

Police disagreed.

Fernandez, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of making a false 911 call. She is being held at the Orient Road Jail on $1,000 bond.
