48. There is a mentally unstable
Tue Apr 22, 2014, 11:16 PM
Apr 2014

person in this town who calls the police 100s of times a month to "report a crime." The police have spent a lot of money and heartache investigating her false, "reports." I know of people who have had their lives ruined by this psycho.

She has wild stories of drunken orgies and "crack machines." There has been actual harmful SWAT raids over her false reports, with injuries.

Now the Supreme idiots made it legal.
