An 86-year-old woman was jailed after police said she called 911 dispatchers 20 times in a little more than a half-hour — all to complain that a pizza parlor wouldn't deliver.

Dorothy Densmore was charged with misusing the 911 system, a jail spokeswoman said.

She told dispatchers Sunday that a local pizza shop refused to deliver a pie to her south Charlotte apartment, said Officer Mandy Giannini. She also complained that someone at the shop called her a "crazy old coot," Giannini said.

Densmore wanted them arrested. Instead, police came to arrest her, and she resisted, Giannini said.

It's unusual for someone to face charges for nonemergency calls, Giannini said. But on Sunday, Densmore kept calling 911, even after she was told to stop, Giannini said.

When an officer arrived at her apartment, the 5-foot-tall, 98-pound woman attacked him, Giannini said. Densmore scratched him, kicked and bit his hand, she said.

Densmore also is charged with resisting a public officer and two counts of misusing the 911 system, jail records show.

HAHAHAHA! Almost as bad as the lady who called 911 about the burger

Man what the friggin fuck is going on with people nowadays?!

this one seems like insanity + short term memory loss + lack of common sense

that or the lady was a f_cking idiot

i don't think they should jail her, but she may need to go to the loony bin.

She's 86 years old, I sure we will all be missing a few marbles by the time we reach that age, some of us won't even make it that far.

LOL! Old lady shouldn't of been ordering pizza in the first place, she should've just went to the salad bar

I should point out that, that comment is not just directed at the old lady herself. But more like everyone who does stupid things!

Exactly, Its called senility and dementia.

What kind of asshole is going to arest an 86 year old woman. If anything, they should have contacted her family (if she had any, or if there were any in her family who gives a shit about her). If not, transfer her to a metal hospital for evaluation, she could have a serious mental condition.

The only thing putting an 86 year old in the tank will do is cause unessecary fear and anxiety on an 86 year old heart which is probably in danger of an attack.

*sigh*

Christ I fucking want a pizza.

i do too. we all do.

its true... mmmmmm... Papa Murphys... yum yum

I'll pass on the pizza...I just got home from making them all night.

There was a list in a UK tabloid a few weeks ago about the top ten 999 missuse calls. They ranged from parents kid's who wouldnt go to bed, to a pensioner who couldnt reach her tv's remote.

Being 86 doesn't mean that you are definately senile or losing your mind.

And just because shes 86 doesn't mean she didn't abuse the system. I dont think old age should be an excuse for things.

Wow people are fucktared. I mean she is after all 86. I agree with dkreifusabout how age shouldn't be an excuse but damn peopel she's 86, give her a brake.

But I think the real question here is what pizza parlor wouldn't deliver her pizza?

I've seen a lot of old people (trust me, there is a lifetime supply at your nearest hosptial) and in the absence of mental illness I would say she's one of those fighters who refuses to give in to a passive role in life. Good on her I say
