After I read this story, I kept thinking to myself. WHY would she do that? What is the point of prank calling 911 over 10,000 times? I really have no idea why she would do that. Only thing i can think of is that she hates the cops for some reason and shes just trying to make their life more difficult.

Keeping up with the prank calls for over 10,000 times is quite impressive though.

MONTREAL - A Montreal woman who pleaded guilty to making more than 10,000 crank calls to the emergency 911 service has been arrested again.

Marie-Eve Dean has been charged with uttering death threats to Montreal police officers. She allegedly confronted police who warned her against littering and spitting on the street.

Dean was sitting at a bus stop at the time.

She will be sentenced in the crank-call case next month.

I think that is a waste of time for both parts of the story. For the woman (at least she spend 5,000 min. of her life) and for the cops, who were distracted from their real job.

On the surface it sounds like this woman has 'mental health issues'. If so, maybe secure hospitalisation would be appropriate. I will check back and see what sentence is meted out.
