TAMPA - If you ever need an example of why drinking and dialing isn't a joke and can lead to serious repercussions, consider the case of Evon Cavett.
Tampa police say she was the woman who misused the 911 system Wednesday, calling three times to tell dispatchers that her roommate was trying to take beer away from her.
Here's a partial transcript of the 911 calls, released today by the Tampa Police Department.
Dispatcher: "What's the problem right now?"
Cavett: "Domestic violence."
Dispatcher: "What's going on?"
Cavett: "OK, there's an argument going out of control."
Dispatcher: "What are you arguing about?"
Cavett: "Beer. I'm totally embarrassed to even say that. But yeah, it's about beer."
A few minutes later, Cavett then tells the dispatcher that her roommate is trying to take a beer away and asks if police can be sent to her apartment at 712 E. Floribraska Ave.
Officers went to the apartment about 2:35 a.m. Wednesday and found Cavett drinking from a 40-ounce bottle of Bud Light and an unidentified man sitting with her. Cavett told police she had drunk six 16-ounce cans of beer but wasn't finished drinking.

Completely understandable!
How would you like to go to court for that?
This kind of crap might be funny in the movies but in real life, it is a waste of money, time and resouces.
Sad.

One Adam Twelve, see the woman.
So why doens't her room mate give her back the beer and leave her the hell alone?
Still no excuse for calling 911.
People call 911 for all sorts of stupid reasons. Fast food place screwed up your order? Call 911.
This is probably one of those times that it’s a good thing that I’m not a judge.
Well, she wasn’t finished drinking. Can’t you all understand that? She wasn’t finished.
(Do I have to add the /s?)
Or a burrito.
Why do these food/drink-related 911 calls always happen in Florida?
