STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A 48-year-old woman allegedly reported over 20 serious crimes that never happened to the authorities on Staten Island.

Katie Davis, 48, of the 400 block of Vanderbilt Avenue in Stapleton, made about 22 calls to 911 to falsely report shootings, robberies and burglaries at numerous locations between May 1 and June 11, according to the criminal complaint and police.



Police officers did respond to each location and were able to confirm that the incidents didn't happen, the complaint said.

The calls put responding officers and other emergency personnel at serious risk of injury, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.

After being arrested on Thursday inside the 120th Precinct stationhouse in St. George, Davis was charged with misdemeanor counts of falsely reporting an incident.
