Woman bombarded police with 121 999 calls in 11 days, court told
AWOMAN pestered officers with hundreds of messages and calls in a matter of weeks, causing “major disruption” to police, a court heard.
Kelly Parry wasted hours of North Wales Police time, and during incidents at two hospitals shouted abuse at officers and damaged two squad cars, Mold Crown Court heard.
Parry admitted threatening behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress; persistently using public communications to cause annoyance, inconvenience or anxiety; criminal damage and harassment; and breaching a restraining order.
The court heard Parry, 29, of Bro Infryn, Glasinfryn, Gwynedd, committed the offences while she was on a suspended 15-week sentence, imposed in June last year at Caernarfon Crown Court, for offences of harassment, sending threatening messages.
On August 9 last year, at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, Parry shouted abuse at Pc Megan Roberts, who had attended on another matter. Parry had been given a 10-year restraining order banning her from contacting Pc Roberts and two other people. A security officer had approached Parry, who was banging her head on the wall and was removing a hospital sign.
Parry said she was going to throw a stone at Pc Roberts, claiming she was responsible for her children being taken from her.
She was throwing stones and was also heard to say “when I see Megan, I’m going to smash Meg with this stone in the head” and “I’m going to f*****g kill Megan, I’m going to f*****g kill her”.
Parry then went on to damage two police vehicles before being arrested, after other officers were called. She was also seen to pick up a brick and a breeze block.
Then on August 14, 2023, officers were called to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Bodelwyddan, because Parry was lying in the road. She was escorted back to the hospital, where she was waiting to be assessed. She swore at the officers, before lying on the floor after being triaged and would not move. Parry was arrested.
Between December 23, 2023, and January 3, 2024, Parry also “bombarded” North Wales Police with hundreds of webchat messages and calls, including 121 999 calls, which were offensive, causing major problems for the force, who continually deployed resources to deal with her.
The court heard Parry’s fixation was “alarming”.
In her defence, the court heard, Parry, who has 21 convictions for 52 offences, was remorseful and her offending was down to her “extensive” mental health problems.
Judge Niclas Parry sentenced her to seven months in prison, a further 12 months out on licence under supervision. If she reoffends during that time she will have to serve a further seven months.
