Hoax! Woman Arrested For Calling Ex 77 000 Times in a Week After They Dated 3 Weeks!

According to reports, a US woman was arrested by officers of the Albuquerque Police Department in what could be the most extreme case of stalking ever recorded in the history of the country. 

The 28-year old woman allegedly not only called her ex-lover a formidable 77 639 times in a week, but also sent him 1937 emails, 41 229 text messages, 217 sung messages and 647 letters in the same period.

Linda Murphy, who has an history of obsessive compulsive behavior, would have badly taken her breakup with William Ryans, with whom she had had a relationship for three weeks. She is accused of using up to three phones at once to call him, 24 hours a day,  on his cell phone, home number and at work.

The woman would have ingested large quantities of energy drinks and amphetamines to remain awake and would have gone sleepless for a week, calling her ex nonstop.

The plaintiff’s lawyer, J.D. James Kilroy allegedly said;

“My client is profoundly relieved that Ms. Murphy is finally behind bars. He hasn’t been able to sleep, work or enjoy life in any way, for more than a week. He was having a hard time thinking clearly and was nearing depression, it was about time the harassment ceased. Now all we want is for Ms. Murphy to get the medical help she needs, and for the law to keep her away from my client.”

The report went on to say that the accused woman was expected to soon appear in the state court, and that experts presumed that the judge will order a psychological evaluation of the woman to determine if she is capable of standing trial.

Since the news was reported on June 25, the bizarre report has garnered lots of attention on a number of social media platforms. Personally, I thought, "there's something wrong somewhere", so I did some digging.

According to News OK, the alleged woman said to have committed the crime is actually an Oklahoma City woman named Cierra Steed. She was arrested back in 2010 after she reportedly crawled into a McDonalds drive-through window after being asked to pay for the food she ordered.
