Shoreham woman jailed for persistent calls to emergency services

Rosie Ralph, 27, of Middle Road in Shoreham, made a high volume of nuisance phone calls to police and other emergency services over several years resulting in numerous call outs, according to police.

On March 10, police received report from an employee at a local charity that Ralph had sent a message threatening to stab someone and set their house on fire, police said. The recipient was concerned for the welfare of the person the threats were made about and contacted police. In interviews Ralph later claimed she had no intention of causing this person harm, police said.
