In Los Angeles, a woman who called 911 more than 400 times in the past three years received a 180 day jail sentence, plus three years of probation and mandatory psychological counseling.
Linette Young, 43, made the 911 calls starting in 2011, sometimes calling as many as six times a day. And from Jan. 1 to Sept. 13, 2013, she called 911 for paramedics 220 times, according to the Los Angeles city attorney's office. Each time she was helped by paramedics, they found no medical issues.
