Deputies Arrested Murphy Area Woman for Making False Calls to Dispatchers
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a woman for monopolizing its Dispatch Center with false reports of a shooting near Murphy early yesterday.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies responded to the incident in the 900-block of Hyde Park Road on Thursday around 3:40 p.m..
Deputies said 61-year-old Lisa Rae Wilson first called 9-1-1 to report a shooting with someone down by a tree near her residence. She called back to report two people hugging each other and that both had been shot. She then called back a third time to report that it was mostly the tree that had been shot and that people wearing camouflage clothing were in her yard.
According to the report, Wilson made numerous calls to the Sheriff's Office on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
Upon arrival, deputies were forced to cut the lock on Wilson's gate before placing her into custody. She was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Misuse of 9-1-1 and Initiating a False Police Report. She was being held without bail.
