"Dream - A woman caused a commotion by calling the emergency number 911 hundreds of times. Not because she was in a situation that required help, she just wanted to experience the thrill of riding in an ambulance."
"Kesha Kennedy deliberately called emergency number 911 multiple times and faked an emergency condition. She did this because she wanted to get a ride in an ambulance, which is usually only called when someone needs a vehicle that can bypass traffic."
The strange obsession of a woman from Zanesville, Ohio, United States (US) has caused paramedics to struggle to handle others who truly need help because many staff were diverted to her home. As a result, Kesha was sued for causing a disturbance. The Muskingum County Prosecutor's Office revealed that the incident occurred in 2020. In one case, the Zanesville Fire Department failed to respond to an emergency call from a victim who was having difficulty breathing until they died, because they were busy transporting Kennedy.
According to NY Post, it was reported that Kesha could call 911 almost 400 times, sometimes several times a day. She complained of different symptoms of illness each time the emergency services answered the phone.
"Kesha took advantage of the first aid officers for her personal entertainment while being taken by ambulance to the hospital," said the prosecutor's office. However, when examined by doctors at the hospital, her condition was actually healthy. A pointless act due to Kesha's antics. Meanwhile, every ambulance that responds to that emergency call is funded by tax money.
"Kesha was found guilty on July 12, 2024, of charges of disturbing the public service and false alarm, both of which are felonies. She was also convicted of 25 other offenses related to the abuse of the 911 system. A forensic psychologist who examined Kesha stated that the girl showed signs of factitious disorder. This means she is a skilled liar."
The action by Kesha has raised concerns about the shortcomings of the existing 911 system. One assistant district attorney emphasized that authorities need to create a better system to track false emergency calls. "Of course, there needs to be some kind of check and balance, so that violations like this can be reported more quickly by EMS to law enforcement because 350 ambulances showing up there is just ridiculous," he said.
