False 911 Calls Land Elk Grove Woman in Jail

A 26-year-old Elk Grove woman phoned 911 to report that “undercover officers from another police agency were in her apartment, attempting to kill her,” late Saturday night. When officers arrived at Lisa Vann's home on the 9200 block of Franklin Blvd., they found no such thing and learned she'd phoned the EGPD 30 times in February alone. The calls came from her home and several other locations, police said, and each time no actual crime had occurred. Vann was then arrested on suspicion of reporting a false emergency and misuse of the 911 system.
