Woman Calls 911 Six Times, Falsely Reports Men Chasing Her

First call made from Duluth Marriott. The woman admitted to police that she had smoked methamphetamine earlier that day.

A Lilburn woman high on methamphetamine was arrested last month after she called authorities six times one evening to falsely report that men were trying to abduct her.

According to the Gwinnett County Police report, the 40-year-old woman first dialed 911 at a Marriott Hotel in Duluth around 5:55 p.m. on a recent Saturday. She told police that someone had put a "hit" on her and there were men chasing her, so she requested that the officer drive her to the Extended Stay America down the road.

In the three next calls, she kept asking for the same officer to help and alleged she was still being followed. Every time police came out, though, they never found any suspects.

At 7:57 p.m., she reported that she was having a nervous breakdown and was going to hurt herself, but she was also still being followed.

Additionally, she admitted to smoking methamphetamine around noon that day, but denied that it was the reason she believed that people were after her.

She told police she no longer felt safe at the hotel and wanted to go to her aunt's house, so an officer suggested that she taxi. While the woman waited for her ride, the officer told her that if she called 911 for the same reason again, she would be charged and arrested.

Her sixth and final call came at 8:47 p.m. while she was still at the hotel. She became suspicious when three men sitting in the lobby apparently stood up quickly when she sat down. Even though they didn't say anything or make any moves to her, she was terrified they were going to grab her.

She became irate about the police not believing her. She was arrested on charges of unlawful conduct during a 911 call (false report), and she also was wanted on violating probation. She also was charged with possession of methamphetamine when police found the Schedule II drug inside a folded $20 bill in her pocket.
