A 35-year-old Morrisville woman is accused of filing nearly 50 false reports about drug activity and drunken behavior in an effort to get people locked up, police said.Malinda Clavell was charged after what police said was her most recent false report, on Nov. 22. Police said she called the 911 emergency dispatch center to report drunken people in a 7-Eleven bothering the cashier. She didn't leave her name and was described as uncooperative, police said.When police arrived at the convenience store, the only person there was an employee. The employee said there were no intoxicated people in the store before police arrived and added that a man and a woman had come in separately earlier.
Morrisville Patrolman William Smith thought the call sounded similar to others received over the last few months involving a local barber shop. All the calls were from a woman with a blocked number who didn’t leave a name or other information and said she didn’t want police to contact her.
After further investigation, authorities determined Clavell was responsible for the calls about both businesses, police said.
When police met with Clavell at her home, she admitted calling in the complaint about the 7-Eleven. She told the officer she called the police because she wanted the people in the store arrested, according to a probable cause affidavit.
Police said Clavell also admitted she made false reports about drug dealing involving the barbershop. Those calls to 911 started April 3 and continued into November.
“Malinda displayed no regret for calling in false reports and only seemed interested in seeking revenge directed at employees of the barber shop and residents who live in the immediate area,” according to the affidavit.
Clavell was charged with 48 counts of misdemeanor false reports and police will proceed by summons with the case.

This must have unnecessarily tied up a bunch of police resources in the April - November timeframe.
Between the perps and the freaks and the low info know-it-alls, this is one whacked out town.
