Heather Mills Warned Abut Using Emergency Phone Number

British police have warned Heather Mills McCartney, the estranged wife of former Beatle Paul, about using the emergency services phone number too often.

The former model and current activist is in the middle of a bitter divorce battle with Paul McCartney and has been calling to complain about the media spotlight put on her by the paparazzi.

Mills was warned that if she continues to call the emergency service number excessively, there may be a risk that officers would take her calls less seriously.

"We are having to spend a disproportionate amount of time on one particular person," said the Brighton and Hove police superintendent.

"We are duty-bound to respond, but clearly people who make lots of calls to the police run the risk of being treated as the little boy who cried wolf," he added.

The police have asked that she keep a log of press harrassments rather than using the emergency phone number.
