Florida Woman Arrested For Calling 911 To File For Divorce

A Largo woman was arrested last Friday for repeatedly calling 911 to ask for help divorcing her husband!

69-year old, Sylvia Shumaker, called and texted the emergency number multiple times making "non-criminal" complaints about her husband. She also called to ask for things like a counselor and how to file for divorce.

Police arrived at her house around 2:00 am Friday morning where they found Sylvia "highly intoxicated".

She was arrested and charged with misuse of the 911 system.

PSA: this is a reminder that 911 is ONLY to be used in real emergencies.
