911 wants a Georgia woman to lose their number.

A sheriff's report says the woman was arrested Tuesday after calling 911 to claim a neighbor was using a recording device to monitor her. The report says Smith sometimes called emergency services so often that officers were showing up at her home back-to-back. Smith was reportedly warned that she would be arrested if she didn't stop making the calls, but that didn't deter her.
She was released on $1,300 bond Wednesday. A telephone number listed in her name was disconnected Thursday.
