Man calls 911 nearly 40 times, threatens to kill GA judge

Atlanta, GALocal News

In a troubling case from Floyd County, Georgia, 64-year-old Steve Lorenzo Miller was arrested after he made a staggering 39 calls to 911, threatening to kill a local judge. According to authorities, Miller's motive for these calls was not to report emergencies but rather to annoy and harass the dispatchers. The Floyd County Sheriff's Office took swift action, apprehending Miller on a Monday evening after his repeated threats raised alarm. This incident underscores the serious consequences of misusing emergency services and making threats against public officials, which can lead to criminal charges. Miller's behavior not only disrupted emergency services but also highlighted the challenges faced by dispatchers in dealing with non-emergency calls.

The case serves as a potent reminder that emergency lines should be reserved for genuine emergencies, and misuse can result in legal repercussions. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen what charges Miller will face and how this situation will unfold in the local judicial system. This incident has sparked discussions about the importance of responsible communication with emergency services.
