A Woman Called 911 to Complain About Her Bad Mugshot Photo . . . and Got Arrested Again

(CBS) - Tonya Ann Fowler, 45, of Winder, Georgia was arrested recently.  No word on why she was arrested, but her mugshot ended up on the cover of "Bad and Busted" which is one of those local papers that specialize in publishing mugshots of people who've recently been arrested.

Tonya wasn't happy with the way she looked in the photo . . . so on Sunday, she called 911 to complain about it. The dispatcher told her that she shouldn't use 911 unless there was an emergency.

Later that day, Tonya called 911 again, because the owners of the house where she'd been staying kicked her out, and she needed someplace to store her sleeping bags.

Police arrested her for disorderly conduct and misusing 911 . . . and gave her the chance to take a new mugshot.
