A Menlo man was arrested Friday night following a traffic stop on Highway 337, according to the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office.
A Chattooga County woman was arrested Friday after allegedly misusing the 911 system, according to the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies say Kimberly Joy Basham was taken into custody on May 8, 2026, and charged with unlawful conduct during a 911 call.
According to the incident report, a deputy was dispatched to an address on 98 7th Avenue in Menlo after Basham called 911 requesting law enforcement assistance. While speaking with dispatch, she reportedly stated there was an emergency but did not provide details, later advising there was no emergency before hanging up.
When the responding deputy arrived, Basham allegedly stated she needed an officer to go to court with her and change her court date. She was informed that this did not constitute an emergency and was subsequently placed under arrest for unlawful conduct of 911.
Authorities say Basham was transported to the Chattooga County Jail without further incident.
