When the officer arrived on scene, he found Jill had already let herself back into her apartment, which she had claimed to be locked out of. Jill had been previously warned twice about her misuse of 911, the last time informing her she would be arrested if it happened again.

Given this, Jill was placed into custody and brought back to CPD for booking. Jill was later released on bail pending arraignment.

We are here to help and are more than willing to try and help you if you lock yourself out of your car or residence. You can reach dispatch at (603) 237-4487 and request assistance from an officer. Please, DO NOT call 911 for a lockout or other similar issue, as you tie up important emergency dispatchers who are already often overwhelmed by high call volume.

PS: If a child or a pet is locked in a vehicle and you are concerned for their safety, this WOULD be an appropriate use of the 911 system, as this could be a real emergency if not dealt with quickly.
