BUFFALO — Buffalo Police have arrested a 62-year-old woman who they say made a fake 911 call.

According to police, Patricia Byrd called 911 around 6:30 p.m. Thursday from the 500 block of Linwood Avenue, stating that there was a dead body in her driveway. In reality, police say, she was attempting to get a quicker response time for a call involving neighbor trouble.

Byrd was charged with falsely reporting to law enforcement an incident that didn’t occur.
