ROCKWELL — A Rockwell woman was arrested for making multiple calls to 911 about her children’s father. Authorities said that she assaulted them when they went to her home to charge her for emergency misuse.
Nichole Michelle Jacobs, 42, faces multiple charges from the incident, including misuse of the 911 emergency telephone system, assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.
According to reports with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, Jacobs made numerous calls to 911 on Thursday, stating that her children were in danger while in the custody of their father. Jacobs repeatedly pressed for officers to check on her children.
Reports said officers visited the father’s residence and spoke to him and the children. Everything reportedly appeared fine.
The calls continued. Jacobs reportedly asked officers to take her children into protective custody. A spokesperson with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said that Jacobs made several calls within a 24-hour period.
Jacobs was reportedly instructed not to call back for the same issue. When she did, deputies went to her home to arrest her for misuse of 911. Jacobs reportedly kicked the officer who arrived to arrest her, resulting in the assault charges.
Jacobs’ bond was set at $10,000 bond.
