A woman who made four vexatious calls to Triple-0, which included vile comments to the operator, has been dealt with in a Yeppoon court.

Jarasandha Tanala Backo, 43, requested to plead guilty in writing to a charge of improper use of an emergency call service.

In Yeppoon Magistrates Court on November 24, Magistrate Philippa Beckinsale accepted that plea and allowed the matter to proceed ex parte.

Police prosecutor Courtney Brown said on November 5, Backo became involved in an argument with other people at her home.

Ms Brown said Backo then called Triple-0 and yelled into the phone: “There are two c--- suckers here that want to suck your d---.”

“(Backo) continued to yell during the entirety of the call,” Ms Brown said.

“(Backo) was very aggressive towards the Triple-0 call taker.”

Ms Brown said a short time later, Backo called Triple-0 again, and yelled and abused the call taker.

“The defendant yelled something about crackheads in her house,” Ms Brown said.

The prosecutor said Backo called Triple-0 a third time and screamed: “Come and get the c---s.”

Then, Backo made a fourth call and said: “Get these c---s out of my house now”.

“The (Triple-0) call taker couldn’t get a word in during (Backo’s) screaming.”

Police then attended Backo’s residence to speak with her and she was subsequently charged.

The court heard Backo had no similar offending on her criminal history which included a public nuisance offence.

Ms Beckinsale fined Backo $600 and no conviction was recorded.
