Freda Johnson apparently had little enthusiasm for a seat belt citation – so she called 911 on the cop who was trying to give her one, police said.

The 50-year-old Boynton Beach woman was stopped by a police officer in the 200 block of Northeast 11th Avenue because she wasn't belted in, according to a Boynton Beach police arrest report.

It was Tuesday afternoon at about 3:25 p.m. and the officer had just printed out the citation to give to Johnson, police said.

He approached Johnson's car to find her on her phone. Over the police radio, a dispatch operator told Johnson she had "called 911 to complain about me writing her tickets," the arrest report said.

"I looked at the defendant and asked her if she called 911," the officer wrote in the report. "She told me she did and when I asked her why, she told me because I was writing her tickets."

Instead of getting a seat belt citation, Johnson was arrested and booked in at the Palm Beach County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of misusing 911.

don't they give basic 911 instruction down there when you're growing up?

Apparently, not everybody gets 911 instructions.
