AN elderly lady has been jailed after repeatedly calling 999 without a genuine emergency.
Ann Lea was sentencing at Reading Crown Court to six months in jail for two counts of breaching a criminal behaviour order in October last year.
The order consisted of calling 999 without a genuine emergency, verbally abusing a member of the emergency services in person or via telephone, and calling 101 without a genuine police related matter.

Lea, of Great Goodwin Drive, Guildford, was sentenced to two six month prison sentences to run concurrently.
The 77-year-old’s sentencing was delayed in April after she made a ‘blunt refusal’ to attend.
