repercussions?? Isn't at least a ticket standard?
A police officer arrived at 10:30 pm, asking if I was her. I said no, that she doesn't live here anymore (she's been gone 1 mo. as I told him) and he looked surprised. He said she just called with a missing cell phone report (I didn't even know that you could call in for something as stupid as that!!??!!)... and gave this address. I said "Police respond to that?" He said "We have to, it's a request for service." (WOW.. I don't get that.)
Well the point of all of this is I am wondering what they are going to do to her for wasting their time and taxpayers' money. She gave the wrong address, knowing that she doesn't live here anymore... I'm sure just to get me pissed off by having me awakened. But the officer didn't seem to mind!!
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO HER? And if nothing, can I complain and get the process rolling? What can be done?
I -think- she moved to Arizona.

The police or city government can actually fine her several hundred dollars or so for making a false complaint. It goes through small claims court eventually. The policeman can use his own discretion whether or not to pursue this.
I've heard of many horror stories of people renting out rooms and the like. Usually even good friends end up hating each other after being roommates. This is something I'd never recommend to anyone.

Take up up with the police officers superior immediately. Last year my daughter was stopped at an intersection in the left turn lane, a car side swiped her on the right side, then crossed the median and left the scene of the accident. She got the tag number, and called police. They stopped the other car 4 miles from the scene. My daughter was by herself, on the way to work, the other car had a girl and her brother, plus a friend. They said my daughter hit them. The police did absolutely nothing, did not cite the driver for leaving the scene, and their insurance company refused to pay because the police didn't charge anyone. Don't let up on the police, no matter whose wife is whose. Also, make it very clear to their insurance company that you are going to sue them and make sure they know that you have witnesses. Don't wait another day to get in the police superiors face. The street officer are many times just plain lazy. Good Luck to you, I hope you come out better than we did.

You've already wasted enough of your time. Let the police do their job and stop worrying about it. It no longer concerns you. When someone puts in a false report like that and is stupid enough to give their real name the police will be looking for her because it is a criminal offense. They can trace the phone call back to where it was made at and will nail her that way. It might have been someone else pulling a prank on her, too, not knowing that she had moved. Don't jump to conclusions. But stop worrying about it.

Well, unless she was personally accusing you of the robbery, or failed to pay her rent and is pulling this nuisance to avoid paying you rent, then I would not worry about that. Yes, I do believe that they could fine her for wasting police time, that is if they catch her.

Okay, I took the time to find your last question. I'm going to tell you (from personal experience) that you need to LET IT GO. I know how bad you want to get her back--& don't BS me about the "taxpayers money", you want revenge of some sort. I can apreciate that. DROP IT. Have you heard of karma?

You answered your own question when you said "Obviously I know that they're not gonna "go after her".... "
The cost is too much considering the offence.

As she gave a false address, its hardly likely that they'll do anything and if they do manage to talk to her she'd probably only get a warning!
