For tonight's Douche of the Day we travel to Lake Okeechobee, FL where I'll introduce you to tonight's Douche of the Day: 70-year-old Cheryl Starbuck.

Cheryl called 911 multiple times to request law enforcement come to her house and make her brother, Robert, stop looking at her. It ended up with her in handcuffs. 

Officers had been called to Cheryl's residence earlier in the day in response to a domestic argument. At the time, they found Cheryl and her brother intoxicated and arguing.

Later that day, Cheryl called 911 again requesting an ambulance for a heart attack but would not answer the dispatcher’s questions and hung up the phone.

When EMS arrived, the person who suffered the "heart attack" refused medical treatment.

Then Cheryl called 911 again to complain her brother would not stop bothering her. She said he kept talking to her while she was trying to sleep, and he kept looking at her. There were no threats involved. According to police, Cheryl was just annoyed.

When Okeechobee County Sheriff’s Officers spoke to Cheryl, they reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol, and when they attempted to arrest Cheryl, she reportedly began yelling for her daughter Dawn. That is when Dawn allegedly came out of the residence and grabbed a deputy's hand.

Dawn was arrested after reportedly scratching the hand of the deputy.

Since March 14, law enforcement has responded to that address 20 or more times where 911 was called but there was no emergency, and every instance, the people at the address were all reportedly intoxicated.

Cheryl was charged with misuse of the 911 system and resisting arrest without violence.

Dawn was charged with felony battery on a law enforcement officer.
