Woman Calls 911, Says Man Won't Marry Her

Police: Woman Earlier Called 911 Saying She Couldn't Find Car

A Tennessee woman was arrested after she repeatedly made nonemergency calls to the city's 911 system, Clarksville police said.

Hee Orama, 34, was arrested Wednesday morning after police said she recently made frequent calls to 911 complaining about a man lying about marrying her, reported WSMV-TV in Nashville.

Police said they responded to two calls from Orama and explained that this was not an emergency situation and to stop calling.

Orama then called again and was cited by police and told she would be arrested if she kept calling them with nonemergencies.

Police said the woman then called a 911 dispatcher a few minutes later but would not say why she called. Police then arrested Orama and took her to the Montgomery County Jail. Orama's bond was set at $250.

Police said Orama's calls cost city workers many hours addressing the situation. 911 supervisor Julie Vogle said they receive nonemergency calls frequently, which often force two or three officers to respond.

"If the officers are running emergency traffic, that's putting several lives in danger, including the citizens," said Vogle.

Police said they also arrested Orama last week for repeatedly calling 911 because she couldn't find her car.
