• The South Zanesville (Ohio) Fire Department has had enough of Kesha S. Kennedy, 34, who pleaded guilty to felony disrupting public services, felony making false alarms and 25 counts of misuse of 911 systems, WJBF-TV reported.
Officials said that starting in 2020, Kennedy called 911 nearly 400 times -- multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day -- hampering their ability to service people with actual emergencies.
Workers at Genesis Hospital were forced to triage Kennedy every time she arrived, although she was repeatedly told there was nothing wrong with her.
Kennedy had a record of similar behavior in four other Ohio counties; she will be sentenced at a later date. [WJBF, 7/17/2024]
